If there is a social event, I make up an excuse to not attend. Avoidance can work is subtle ways as well. If I absolutely cannot get out of a social event, I will use a safe person as I mentioned earlier. Someone to accompany me that I am familiar with and feel safe.
Other ways to subtly avoid can include:
- Staying only a certain amount of time
- Daydreaming
- Not make eye contact
- Sit in a corner far away as possible
- Having a drink or two beforehand
- Sometimes those of us with social anxiety just appear shy or conceited.
- When in fact, something totally different happens to be going on in our minds.
Until next time...
