Answer 3

most people have some sort of anxiety at times - it is very common.  Stay away from caffeine as it can cause you to be agitated and anxious.  Remember, that you are not alone - many people get social anxiety.  Try and focus on enjoying yourself and on other people rather than how you are feeling.  If you start to label yourself as suffering with anxiety, it will just become a focus for you and get worse.
