Very common. Most unpleasant. How do you get rid of it?
Jeltz said:I find that when one wishes to train ones mind to change actually talking to yourself (in private obviously) helps, I think they are known as affirmations you will probably feel like a bit of a prat but I can assure you that doing so has helped me develop self confidence over the years and I also used them while quitting smoking about 2 years ago.
Look yourself in the mirror and firmly state what you want to achieve eg " I am going to dinner, I will have a great time and I will not feel anxious!" The more often you say it the more it starts to sink in.

Flatfish said:Everybody it would seem is different. For me going out for food eg pubs, restaurants cafes makes me anxious. So much so that I may not be able to eat anything despite being hungry and the food fantastic.
Also going to places where there is a risk that dear wife will say lets go here for food.
Buffets and McDonalds (familier place) seem to be fine.
