Going to my first Autistic Adult social meetup tonight. The event ballooned from 6 or so when I RSVPed to over 20 now, and I'm feeling a little anxious about being in such a large group.

I've felt this anxiety before, though, and I've pushed through it to do things I really wanted to do. So I'll push through again.

@dave Oh gosh good luck. I totally understand the anxiety. There is a huge conference I'm attending this next week and already my brain weasels have begun their brain weasel dance... So I'm pushing through along side you, is what I'm saying! ๐Ÿงก
@dave oh yes that's a lot of people. Just remember that you can leave whenever, if you need to (sometimes that helps me with overcoming the anxiety) or take a break, go outside, whatever helps you. It's valid and everyone there should understand!
@dave I wish you the best for tonight while understanding and feeling the anxiety. ๐Ÿ˜Š
