What can i do?

[star57]

So,Me and the guy i like have been talking on Facebook once in awhile we'll send a message to each other,The other he messaged me and said that he's gonna be working in long beach and wanted to stop by to say hi,He'll be down here by next week and told me he would stop by,The problem is i have agoraphobia i am on medicine for it so it's not as bad as it was,I have no problem with being around him but he's working with one of his guy friends and i know he'll probably bring this guy with him,I was wondering how can i make myself not feel so uncomfortable?

[LoftyLottie]

Surely agoraphobia is the fear of going out. These guys are coming to see you.

@LoftyLottie one of them is but I've known him since we were babies so I'm not uncomfortable around him i just know he's bringing a friend that he's working with,I've been wanting to see the guy i grew up with tho i just don't wanna feel so uncomfortable where i don't wanna come out of my room

tell him to come on his own

[LoftyLottie]

As Ankou says, ask him if he can come on his own as you don't find it easy to be with strangers.

Although it is only by putting yourself in situations where you are not exactly comfortable that you get used to them, and they cease to be a problem for you. Maybe meeting a second person at your home would be good for you, if you can bring yourself to 'bite the bullet' and go through with it.

How not to feel uncomfortable ? Well no quick fixes for that, and as mentioned, it's down to having got used to it. But you can help by taking a deep breath before meeting them. Maybe realise they are thinking more about how they appear to you, than to worry so much about how you appear to them; so you need not be so self conscious. Maybe think of a few general things in advance that you can ask, for when you feel you need to contribute to the social chat ? Aside from that, just take it a moment at a time and except you aren't going to feel totally comfortable the first time you meet someone, at least not yet.
