I am a freelance writer. I sometimes write about fashion. I had a PR rep with a big-name brand email me and ask me to come take a tour of their local boutique. I'm doing that today. And for some reason I am kind of nervous and dreading it!

I can't possibly imagine what might happen there except for a nice chat and maybe them trying to pitch me stories but I am all up in my head about it. This is why people with anxiety avoid social situations — even hanging out with friends.
