Dealing with Social Anxiety at Formal Events

How do you cope with having to be in big crowds or events, especially formal ones? I have a prom coming up and i'm terrified, i'll be the only person I know there and don't know if i'll be under dressed or over dressed. I'm so stressed about this it makes me want to throw up.

I try to avoid eye contact, secretly wear earbuds so that the noise doesn’t overwhelm you as much, that’s the most I can think of to help since you don’t know anyone

And if you feel too overwhelmed then take a breather and sit down for a moment. But remember that you are perfect in every single way. So don't be afraid to be yourself
