Travel Anxiety

>>1263253
Do some low stress stuff at your own pace the first few days, like museums. If you get anxious you can just sit down, or hang out in the cafeteria. Or don't be embarrassed to be a tourist for the first day or two and do one of the bus tours, you're just sitting there, not doing much, and you know that you will end up exactly where you began, but it gives you a sense of the layout of the city and gets you excited about the places you'll see up close later.

The first 2 days I scheduled to not be busy. The first day I have no plans other than checking in to my hostel. On day 2 I just have a few museums I want to see.

I guess I'm just a bit concerned, because on my last trip I did, the first 2 days with the combination of jet-lag and anxiety. I was so fucked. I barely ate the first 2 days because my entire GI tract felt fucked and I couldn't sleep. I just don't want to go through that again

Social anxiety?

why do you say social?

You're leaving established territory and immersing yourself in the territory of another tribe. You are, effectively, throwing your monkey brain into absolute crisis mode -- as we're evolved to NEED those constants to feel safe. Back in the day you'd be dead without them. Work through it. Do things that establish your self reliance and sense of well being. Also, go sky diving. Fuck it.

Don't lay that history channel-tier pseudo science on a stressed-out anon whose going on vacation. Him and his monkey brain are going to be just fine.

I forgot to mention OP should check out the museum of the Middle Ages (Musée national du Moyen Âge) if he wants something a bit more chillaxed than the major sites. And general advice for cultural visitors to Paris is get the Paris museum pass (you can buy it at the airport) as it saves you money - and most importantly time - because you don't need to cue up for tickets.

I'm asking which kind of anxiety.

Travel I guess?

I don't think it's social. I don't care about being around others. I can zone out
