Why do I have fomo and have social anxiety at the same time? I am scared of not being included or invited to things but I also feel this incredible anxiety when I am invited. How can I deal with this? I’m doing a master in an other country. I know what I want and I have a life organized. I wanted to study this but the part of marking friends and going out takes me back to does days in high school when I felt like I needed to feed in and be liked and be part of everything. I hate feeling like this because being here is an amazing opportunity and I feel beyond lucky but I am scared that I feel like this just being a month in and still have a year to go. I feel like my safe place is my family and my boyfriend and I feel outside here.

Sometimes you just gotta do it. Put yourself out there and introduce yourself. Most of the time, everyone is thinking only about themselves and not about you. You got this!
