Afraid Of People

1. Maybe socializing is the cure? ''

2. If I socialize and have to deal with pain and suffering from rude people, I figure at least I have control over how much I eat?

3. Or maybe I/we could remain alone and meditate?

I think socializing (if you find it tolerable) or meditation would both be worth a try. The things you mentioned earlier are probably at least as important – finding a away to cut the daydreams short.

I'm not sure how much more emotional energy I would have sunk into the one I got stuck in the other day, if I hadn't suddenly thought to myself "this is what CityMouse was talking about". So I started thinking about what I would post here about the experience instead, and the negative stuff mostly stopped happening.

Thanks and glad I was able to help!
