New here
I am trying to feel my around this app/site. I am 60 year old guy long happily married. I went through a bad window of depression a few years back. I had a great therapist and wife and I am thankfully not in that place. I struggle with I am really introverted prefer, being alone, or maybe one or two beyond that my stress level or anxiety builds to the point I can have panic/anxiety attack and really have to leave. My issue is I constantly wrestle with I should grow into being able to handle those group settings through, spiritual faith, anxiety coping techniques etc. I wrestle I should be able to do that, verses I am who I am, and I should accept myself and just be me and let everyone think whatever they need to think and move on.

Welcome to our community! It sounds like you really are feeling uncertain about what is best, but my question for you would be, are you happy the way you are? If the answer is yes, I would think about what would be the motivation to change yourself. If your partner is bothered by it, maybe then, but otherwise I say live your life and be happy as you are -- people will have thoughts on things no matter what. Don't feel pressured to try to fit into a preconceived notion of what is "right" Just keep doing you!
