Thanks for the advice and encouragement rainbow, much appreciated. It's true what you say, today at this funeral I believe it was bad because my grandmother was wanting me to meet all her 11 brothers and sisters so I felt expectation which makes the anxiety alot worse. I feel better now due to making myself go to two more social gatherings (not quite as big) when I could've chosen to of stayed at hotel room or gone to bed, I faced up to my fear and went for it, i'm also refusing to drink at events cause even though one little won't do much harm for most people... I tend to get dependent on stuff so i'm avoiding all drugs but caffeine (we brits must have our tea)
