Soooo, my anniversary is on Friday. My fiancé wants to take me out for a meal and do the usual "date" type things.

Problem is, I'm agoraphobic with severe social anxiety, I'm overweight which partnered with my anxiety makes me paranoid about eating in public or restaurants (in front of strangers basically)

The place he's chosen to try I've been to before a few times, Chinese buffet place, its always busy, long wait times for tables, is also a favourite of my ex's (abusive one). Now most of this I don't mind, even the ex part, fiancé s been dying to go since I told him about it last year. The only problem is i think the entire time I'm going to be nervous and paranoid about eating in front of people so I won't enjoy myself.

Has anyone been in the same position?

Any tips?

Thank you for taking the time to read <3
