If you are like me and have social anxiety always have a anxiety plan.
If you have medication, make sure it is always on you. Even if you feel fine, panic attacks tend to come out of nowhere.
Map out an "escape" route wherever you are just in case you have a severe attack.
Go outside or go back to your hotel room and take a breather as often as you need to. The con isn't going to go anywhere.
Stay close to a friend or family member who can help you in case of an attack.
Most importantly, don't let your anxiety ruin your fun. Attacks aren't pleasant but if you are prepared for them, they will pass and you can go on enjoying the con.
If you are worried about all the people, just try and keep in mind that they are all too busy trying to enjoy the con (like you are) to give you too much unwanted attention.
