I do almost practically the same thing. I have a lot of weird social anxieties. I'm afraid of calling someone or saying something that will make me feel or look stupid, and I'm always convinced that people are thinking bad things about me. I'm always afraid I'm bothering or annoying people, thats why I make Kyle make a lot of phone calls for me.. because I'm so paranoid about some stuff. Trust me, if I were in your situation, I'd be freaked out, too! sorry I don't have much advice to give b/c I'm practically just like you lol.
I was going to, but I couldn't find the number after all my anxiety over it! So next time I see her, I will just give her my phone number and then I don't have to worry about making the first move. lol
this may sound like cliche advice, but i say, "just be yourself.. if people dont like you for that, then they're missing out."
and if you're always just being yourself, i think you'd be a lot more calm around new people/situations.
i know i'm not *always* that calm in them either, but i try to just remember that the next time i'll be meeting that person it won't be new at all... and that they're probably not freaking out, so i just relax.
about new friends and farts...maddiefoxfireSeptember 27 2005, 15:10:31 UTC
i feel really comfortable around you and i just became friends with you less than a year ago. i think one thing you do is worry that people are mad at you when they arent or have no reason to be. and i think matt feeds it a little bit too because you say " i think they're mad at me" and he's like "yeah i think so too" when really he should say "jessica you're crazy go relax and have a drink!!" haha i love you guys but you worry too much. just keep in perspective that your life IS full, you have 2 kids... and dont stress so much. you are very easy to talk to, the first time we met we talked forever and we've been through embarassing things together and we just laugh it off. everyone gets nervous when you're getting to know somebody but them somebody farts or something and things just dont seem so serious anymore. haha. love ya jess. *e

It might be weird if you dont call and do lunch, and then she be your cashier again, she might be a little offended, so I would just go for it...
:P
