Introvert here

Im not exactly an introvert, but i have pretty bad social anxiety. Well, anxiety in general, but still. What i do when in a crowd or when getting a lot of attention is focus on my breathing, finding a designated person to help draw the focus away from me for a moment so i can calm down, or if its really bad, i excuse myself to the bathroom to "freshen up." Which, really, is just me staring at myself in the morror with the water running for a few moments. Really, its a matter of knowing yourself and knowing how to keep yourself in control.

Hey Allison! I'm really sorry to hear you;re feeling anxious about your upcoming celebrations. I have social anxiety too, so I completely empathize with that fear. My best advice would be to make sure you have a safe space to retreat to if you get too overwhelmed. A back room, bathroom, private outdoor space. Are you familiar with the locations where they will be hosted?

Of course deep breathing is always a great in-the-moment solution that most people won't pay any mind to. Reciting empowering mantras in your head and remembering that everyone there loves you and wants to celebrate you and your upcoming "I Dos," so I'm sure they'd be happy to help you feel as comfortable as possible.

I would probably have more than a few glasses of champagne, but that's just me! LOL!

I am introverted, also! My personality type is ISFJ.
Just remember that you are entitled to two special days of attention — your bridal shower and your wedding day, and it is okay to feel beautiful and pampered—as long as you show gratefulness and do not act like a bridezilla. 😊
