Hi Dinah,
I doubt that you came across the way you fear you did. And even if you weren't the poster child for Emily Post, you can be sure that most other people are so self-involved or busy or tired, they probably didn't notice.
Have you had a change of meds that might have precipitated this social anxiety? Usually I don't care too much what other people think, but every so often, I've been on a medicine that makes me painfully concerned about what other people might be thinking of me. Needless to say, I'm unable to stay on meds like that for very long.
You said you felt over-stimulated when you left. I've noticed that often, when I'm exposed to flourescent lights for too long during the evening or at night, I feel "wired" for hours and am unable to relax.
Don't worry about it anymore. You were there for your son, and that's what's important.
Sarah
