Congratulations patricia! Always feels like such an accomplishment to step out of your comfort zone and successfully achieve something you usually fear.

Remember you can do it because you just did!!! keep it up!!

That's great! Now that you know you can handle that situation maybe try going into another store, maybe not to buy anything, just to look around. After a while you may even find that going out to buy anything is no big deal. This must be done gradually though.
