Is this question about intrusive thoughts and/or (possibly social) anxiety? Otherwise I'm not really sure of what you mean
If so, can you share an example?
I dislike surprises. As much as I have let go, it remains. Work to do.
do you mean like impromptu "tell me all about yourself!" conversations? those are especially uncomfortable :|
That's pretty much what I meant. Actually I was asking generally about awkward social situations, including that one, which is my own personal "favorite". Those "tell me about yourself" situations can really be a bitch when you don't feel like talking about yourself to someone who you haven't seen for years.
But who knows, the person standing opposite you in such situations may be feeling just about equally awkward.
