Should I go again for this group study?

I went with a friend to a bible study group steered toward asians

I didn't know any one at the group, it was a complete random study group..Plus there were 3 asain girls there which made my SA worse

At the study, it lasted 4 hours, during which I barely spoke to anyone, and I felt a lot of people were uncomfortable with me, I didn't even participate in group discussion, except at the end I said one sentence...:(

If it were all guys, and not many were chinese, I think my SA would've been much less intense.

during the discussion, all I did was sit there and stared at the ground, I didn't try to lift my head because I was really scared, and I felt myself blushing *major*, my face was still pink after I got back home...

Friend of mine said I should go again next week, just to help with my SA...I don't know what I should do...this is the 2nd time this school year my SA sky rocketed

If you want to go back again & give it another try, than you should, but if you don't want to, then don't. I know that's not good advice, but I don't think you should stay away out of fear if you really want to go, or go back if you don't want to go. I went to a group thing over a year & a half ago, but it was different than yours. Mine was group therapy & I was the only one with SA & felt completely out out of place every time I went. I was incredibly uncomfortable & hated it, but I went because I kind-of had to. I still don't really regret it, though because, although I felt left out & never participated in any of the conversations, it was nice to hear the things people were saying, since I'm so far removed from people most of the time.

I don't think it would've matter if it was all chinese people or not. I've told myself that a lot in the past, even if everyone was my ethnicity, i still couldn't open up or discuss it with them.
