So after my chickening out episode a couple of days ago (if you didn't see my post on how I went out shopping and then chickened out and stayed in the car) I promised myself I'd go out tonight only my second time out and it was good . My GF and I went to the movies to zoolander 2 (not nearly as funny as the first one btw but anyway) of course I had the usual paranoia where I think everyone is looking at me and talking about me but I braved it and carried on as if I was doing nothing wrong even though it does feel like your out of place. I think that feeling is born in the mind fathered by social stigma and mothered by my own fears of rejection. But I got through and will go out again baby steps
