Meeting

[pandora92]

Does any one else struggle with meetings, sitting in rooms with people, standing in queues etc. if so how do you deal with it?? I get so anxious in these situation. Any advise would be appreciated

I have this. It's hard, and I'm still working on it, but I ask myself what the issue is, I ask myself if there is anything I can do about it right now, the answer is always no. Then I tell myself that now is not the time for this, I will set aside half an hour later to think about it. I find that self reassurance and rationalising the situation, or attempting to, generally makes me feel like I'm back in control of the situation, I call the shots here.

Thanks for the response. That's what I do too but sometimes it just overwhelms me. I get very fidgety and have to remove my self.

How old are you? (if you don't mind me asking)

I used to struggle with meetings until I matured. I'm not saying you're immature... I'm simply saying that as you get older you naturally gain confidence and leave behind certain anxieties which plagued your earlier years.

I'm 20, but the thing is I've always been very confident and in the near 3 years I've worked for this company I've had plenty of meeting and been fine it just seems that since my anxiety struck I find that having to sit somewhere makes me very anxious! To the point I have to leave! How did you deal with it xx

Woohooo! TWO kisses... I've pulled ;-)

Oh.. wait... you don't have any cold sores do you? <looks anxious>


How did I deal with it? errrmmm... I didn't, basically. I just accepted I was shy and that was that.
