I have similiar problems sometimes. But I agree, you need to try, don't push them away. If you end up not being able to make some social even, just explain it to them. I've recently made a new friend and I was very up front and honest with her. I explained about my IBS and that I can be prone to panick attacks and don't do well in big crowds like at the mall and stuff. She was totally cool about it! When we do things, we either go earlier or later so as to avoid the big crowds. She lets me pick where we eat lunch and even understands when I have to sit in the potty for a little while! It was a bit scarey at first, thinking she was going to think I was some kind of freak or something but we have really become good friends and its a great feeling. Make the effort, you won't be sorry!
