Is it normal that i feel like i have to prepare myself with people

What I mean is that I feel as if I have to prepare myself when going to hang out with friends. By "prepare" i mean that i have to get into the mindset that I'm going to be around people and that they will do things that i might not find suitable. I basically tolerate people to an extent because I feel that they keep me sane. Is it normal for me to be like this or am i just weird?

    I always remind myself not to join in on a conversation if I don't know 100 percent of what I'm saying. That never ends well with me for some reason

    It's hard for me to just go hangout with people on short notice

    I do that too! Sometimes I even pretend to not see someone because I am not ready... I clearly need some help

    I'm that way too. I'm mainly worried most of the time. I'm always thinking, "What if I say the wrong thing????". And when I'm nervous I almost always say something really dumb, or do something ridiculously embarrassing. So I always feel as though I need to prepare myself. Horrible feeling. Can't say it's normal, but maybe counseling will help.

    :(

    You should feel comfortable around your friends, stop treating it like a first date.
