So, went to a restaurant/bar tonight (I tried at least). Loud music and all, my social anxiety was very high.
Me and my mate arrived late so there was a huge line, we waited 45 minutes and it didn’t advance a lot so we went back to his place to grab a drink. When we were waiting, the girl behind me was with her male friend asked me how much did the coat check cost. Didn’t know if she wanted to launch a discussion, but she wasn’t my top attractiveness (I think! at the moment I was so anxious I couldn’t think about flirting!!)
When I knew we were leaving, my anxiety dropped a little bit. I believe I caught 2-3 woman looking at me in the station (eye contact), then I went to my friend’s place, we grabbed 2 drinks, and I went home, again, I caught a few eyes contact, but with two drink I had a lot less anxiety being around people
