Socialising

Whenever I've been invited to anything that may involve food I've always declined or found an excuse. However this has led to a lack of meaningful socialising. Since I've started to tell people about my eating I've come to realise that learning to get used to people around food may be a challenge all on its own. I wish I hadn't got so bad, but I find trying new food on my own easier than being around people with food, but I seriously want to change so am going on a work meal next month that I originally declined but am nervous to say the least.
