Fighting against my anxiety (with a book signing)

For those that know me, they know that thanks to my anxiety I’ve never been able to go to any kind of event on my own. I’m talking book signings, comic cons, cinema, concerts - you get where I’m coming from. Because of this I’ve missed out on more than I can count; friends who would usually come with me to these things don’t always necessarily have the money or time (which is obvious as they have their own lives and can't always babysit a 20 something).
