Yesterday I was asked out to my first ball by the girl Ive had a crush on for a while, but I feel a sense of emptiness and anxiety. Ive been struggling to talk to girls since I started highschool and its really taken a toll on my mental health and now being asked out to a ball has created a whole new series of overwhelmness and anxiety for me. I'm thinking of just saying that I don't want to go because im not used to this stuff (Im the type of guy that just stands in the corner and doesn't talk at any event), but this is the girl that Ive had a crush on, so why do I want to pass up this opportunity of going to a ball with her. I feel like I wont be fun enough because she's very extroverted and wants to be dancing and all that but im extremely introverted and probably will just stand against the wall the entire night with my other introverted friend. Im gonna try my best and work on my mental health leading up to this event since 10+ weeks away and hopefully get rid of these thoughts and anxiety.
