I'm sure you already know this, but just in case you've forgotten...there's no reason you can't meet Dr. Bob and other Babblers in Toronto *without* participating in the small groups, etc.

Just come to whatever social events end up being planned, hang out and so forth, right? etc.

Because I hate to think you're envisioning forcing yourself to do something you're not ready for, or aren't even inclined to do at all, because you're seeing it as sort of the "price you have to pay," and the ONLY way to meet Dr. Bob.

(Unlike me, who sees the presentation/groups, talking with pdocs as a fascinating, unique opportunity....and with the way I won't 'shut-up' once a favorite topic like Babble comes up, well...then the pdocs are the ones who'd better be worried...;-) )

I want you to have fun and come away with an exhilarating, memorable experience (as you often write about not feeling very grown-up, social anxiety, not doing lots of 'adult stuff' on your own, etc.) - including not having unnecessary anxiety over the next five months!

Nothing is set in stone. I'm sure it would be fine if you (or others) intend to participate, then change your mind once there. This is not a life-or-death sort of commitment, ya' know? :-)

I'm excited for you - and everyone else - and me if my $$ situation allows me to go. I'll be happy to sit by you for moral support, or any other kind of support. And, just in the off chance something triggers them, I have zero problem with tears - cryng is an every day thing for me (not meaning that in a bad way, either) and I'm quite comfortable with my tears and anyone else's.
