If I don’t overcome my social anxieties, then I am going to end up a lonely old hermit of a man for the rest of my life. The thought of that scares me. It is a rude awakening to say the least.
Tonight, with my therapist in mind, I straightforwardly asked an old high school friend, Wendy, out for lunch Wednesday. She agreed and I told her I would pick her up at noon. We are going to eat at Johnny’s New York Style Pizza in downtown West Point. My treat! The last time I had their pizza it was exceptionally good.
I already have butterflies in my stomach, and they will only intensify as noon Wednesday approaches. “Breathe deep, relax, and have fun,” Barbara, my therapist, would tell me.
