Question:
Answers:
Decide that you don't need to be afraid of it, then put yourself in that situation and learn not to be afraid. Ask God to help you. There are different things that can make you uncomfortable around people. Maybe you need to find out what your weakness is. If you feel guilty about something, that can make you uncomfortable around people. If you have forgiveness thru Jesus, you can get rid of guilt. Learn not to be afraid of rejection, did someone hurt you in the past? Learn not to worry about what people think, can't please everybody. You have to do what you think is right no matter what others think. Do you try to please everyone? Try to overcome these things when in social situations. When you find your weakness, face that situation and overcome your fears and become stronger.

Hello I have a suggestion and here goes. Try going out with a trusted friend to these functions and as you get more at ease go around to others. When you feel a pang then simply get closer to that person you brought with you for security. As time goes you will more than likely become at ease with that crowd or situation. This is normal to fear large crowds, cities, etc and if you take your time and do it little by little with some faith it can be over come. Try your best not to get medicated though as in time that will just make it worst. Good luck and press on with pride!
