I (31F) want to be a supportive girlfriend to my boyfriend (30M) and meet his friends be sociable. I have my own small group of friends but since they all have kids and their own families, I don’t see them as often. 

My boyfriend knows I have anxiety but I don’t think he fully understand how uncomfortable I am going tonight. I know I’m too in my head about it. It’ll be the first time I’m meeting a larger group of his friends (around 10+ people) will be there. And two are really good friends with him. 

I want to meet them but the idea of meeting them at this Halloween party is making me anxious. On the other hand, it’s a chance to be incognito cause some people will be a little dressed up. But ultimately, I don’t want to go but I know I should just bite the bullet and go. 

Any tips on how to pull myself out of my head and just enjoy myself? Maybe it won’t be so bad as I’m making it out to be. 

Thanks
