This question has probably been asked a million times on here, but do you guys tend to sometimes not enjoy yourselves when you eat out with friends, because you're so worried about you-know-what? I realised I get like that. I just got back from a friend's birthday at a pub in the next town, and we all had meals. I just had plain ole fish and chips, but didn't get anything from the salad/vegetable bar, just because it was one of those 'serve yourself' deals...normally I'm ok with them, but tonight I was just in one of those emet-ish moods where I fear the worst. I even worried about the tongs which I touched to pick a bread roll up with. Couldn't fully enjoy myself, because the thought of catching something was at the back of my mind the whole time...its something psychological, that if I wprry about it, and am conscious of it, it won't happen. But if I forget...thats when I will catch something, because I'll be off my guard.


If that makes any sense! >_< So its a no win situation, really!


Its quite frustrating, being so sensitive to everything! I've had enough! lol.


Other people feel the same? Experiences where you've eaten out with friends, but not had such a great time because you were so anxious? Do tell.
