Default Went to the shops on my own

It's weird, I've been to meets on my own and got on trains on my own, but walking any distance on my own is a huge problem for me.
Whenever i go to meets, i get lifts to the train station and when im with people walking around i feel less self conscious.

But the whole thing of walking to the shops on my own has filled me with terror for ages, and today out of nicotine cravings, i managed to force myself, and hear I am shaking and sweating, but proud that i did it.

Must admit I've done the phone prop thing a few times, mostly when I'm in town and I see one of those w*nkers with a clip board making a bee line towards me.
