need advice please
The story
been talking to someone for a couple months we both expressed we like each other but agreed to not date for the time being bc of outside things which isn’t the main issue just to give some context. We both like this artist and they suggested we meet up before or after said artists concert since one of the venues is near both of us. I really want to go but i’m also very hesitant I have ptsd and anxiety from stuff when i was younger/teenager and it heavily contributes to social situations and I’m not the best talker I tend to shut down and just listen to people unless I find something(if anything) to say. I also don’t want to embarrass them bc they’re bringing their friends along. Idk I need some help.

Points of view
It's completely normal to feel anxious in situations like these; meeting new people can be nerve-wracking, especially with past experiences affecting your confidence. Take a deep breath and remember that you both already share a mutual interest in both each other and the artist, which is a great conversation starter! Maybe express your feelings to this person beforehand?? they might offer support or reassurance that could make things more comfortable??? Just be yourself and allow things to unfold naturally ;-)
