Answer

Dear Angie,

I'm sorry to hear that you are afraid of meeting new people. It must be awful for you, but I think I can help.

If I were you, I'd imagine myself at the barbecue feeling relaxed and confident. This way, you'll enjoy the barbecue as you're already expecting to. Why don't you ask a friend to go with you? If you do this, you won't have to face your fear alone. Also, it would be a good idea to focus on other people instead of your feelings. If you follow this advice, you will hopefully forget your anxiety and start enjoying yourself.

I hope I've been of some help. Write and tell me how you get on.

Best wishes,

Jane
