i have been fortunate that i haven't had this kind of intense anxiety. for me it was depression that kept me in. i never really had friends invite me to things so i cannot say i know the experience of turning down invites ...

i do remember during one of my depressive episodes, years ago (like in the mid 1980's) two ladies from church came over and didn't invite me, they just "took" me to see a movie with them. and i remember telling my T about it and crying because i felt pain instead of pleasure.

not sure if that makes sense, but there it is.
