Social Anxiety Support

So I was sitting downstairs eating some rice at the kitchen table while my mom and sister were in there cooking and I hear a knock on the door from one of my moms friends, she always just knocks then walks in-so she walks in and says 'Cindyyyy I brought over the girls' and in walks these 2 really good looking girls and they're in sports bra's because they just got done working out and stuff. My heart sunk because I felt trapped and I'm sure I looked stupid since I was eating and had one a tank top. So I got up and walked to the bathroom and acted like I had to wash my hands. My mom kept talking and being social and outgoing so I was like 'UGH!' so I was like 'alright let me floss and see if that buys me time for them to leave' so I finish that and they're still there. I then start to brush my teeth-complete that and they're still there laughing and having a good talk. I then use mouth wash for a minute and was like 'Well there isnt anything else I can do...' so I walked out and just acted like I was stirring the vegetables in the pan for longer than needed. When I realized they weren't leaving I just walked to the counter where one of the computers is and got on. All the while I was nervous that they were staring at me because I saw them glancing whenever I walked into their view. I'm angry now because I can't eat dinner since I just brushed my teeth. I feel bad for being angry with my mom though since it's just normal conversation. But under my breat I kept saying 'hurry the f*** up'

Ugh God, that must've been annoying. Stuff like that happens to me all the time. Where you're caught doing stupid, pointless stuff to buy time to escape from a social situation.

That's happened to me a couple of times...EACH TIME I was in my bath robe with my hair up in my towel and no makeup on or anything (WHY!?). Baaaad timing.

My mother is also very outgoing. She always loves to invite random groups of people over. She sometimes invites people to stay without my consent and I am left under house arrest. I had a recent house guest and it was so challenging dodging him. I would go downstairs when he slept haha. My mother doesn't really take my S.A. or comfortability factor into consideration at all

.

The first thing you should always do is say hi. That way you have the excuse to run away from them and they won't think you're rude or anything. It'll take the edge off from the awkwardness.
