I agree with carenhk in that this was great advice. It took me like 3 days to grasp it, but then I realized that it was fear of not being my best, my very best, that was causing me to obsess. If I did have contact with the person, I wouldn't be natural, I would try to be all impressive, and try to be the perfect person. After that, I would analyze every moment. That was the cause of my anxiety. I realize now that this is a self acceptance issue. People had told me that before, but it took the observation of my thoughts for it to really hit home.
