Widget, I understand too. I usually dissociate. It weird because my husband thinks I am the social butterfuly. But then I have this weird bold/me that takes over and it isn't me. It is like an alter-ego or something. It helps to get through the night but it is still exhausting. I will work myself up in a frenzy. Maybe if you have the anti-anxiety meds like someone suggested or a small glass of wine if that helps. But don't take too much. I have one friend that has done that, but the upside is her husband won't take her anymore but got really made at her. She was dancing on the tables at a really fancy dinner of all his bosses. She didn't know what their problems were as she thought she was a really good dancer, or course that was becausee she had by that time lots of glasses of wine. And by
now she wasn't nervous anymore. We laughed about it for months. Her husband didn't think it was funny because he worked for a bunch of stuffed shirts executives. He was an executive himself. She said you knew I had a social issue and you told me to have some wine. So it was kinda his fault anyway. LOL! I hope this funny story makes you laugh because I keep thinking about her dancing on tables at a dinner party in a fancy dress and I still laugh!!!!So if you do have some wine keep it to a small glass.........remember my friend Pam......rkontos
