Yeah, I know how you feel. We were invited to dinner with friends on Tuesday night and I ended up ancelling. Not good. I know exactly what you mean about the whole committment thing. When I am anxious, making a decision is soooo hard for me. I stress about making the right decision. My problem is I try to nmake the right choice for the wrong reason. I need to think of me, not everyone else. If we go out on a whim, it seems easier then making plans. With plans, you stress and stress til the time comes. I suggest making plans with people you are very comfortable with first like close friends and family. Then, start with unfamiliar people and work associates. Plus going out with work people is stressful. You can't always be yourself, you have to be professional, its just isn't that fun. Maybe keep telling your self when you actually make plans that "I want to go out. I want to get better. I will have some fun." Good luck to you.
