I know this is a common problem. I live in NYC and I'd like to get out more to parties/shows/etc. I just always feel stuck in one corner or uncomfortable at events. Every time I get ready or think of going somewhere, I get this massive wave of dread, like "oh my god I have to face all of these strangers." Other than drinking, what can I do to erase this dread? I want to WANT to go out more.
