Problm in socialising

I don't know everything here, so stating anything would be inappropriate. You are the only one who knows everything here, but I'd want to share something from my experience with you.

As a natural extrovert with an engaging personality, I was a good communicator. During the lockout, I discovered a lot about myself, including my multiple childhood traumas, ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, and years of gaslighting myself with other complexity around me.

Fast Forward to 2022- I have had a hard time socialising with other people since last year, and it exhausts me to no end. Socialization is a crucial part of coming out of your shell, but forcing yourself to do so may sap your energy even more.

I suggest figuring out why you're feeling this way and working on it, but for now, try hanging out with individuals you're already comfortable talking to since the more comfortable you get with it, the easier it will be to find a suitable course of action.

Tip:- To make it easier for you to communicate and continue to communicate, find a common ground. That's how I end up interacting with strangers. Because you won't be able to discover similar grounds or interests with everyone, the number of individuals you'll be socialising with will be limited, but baby steps matter. Just a reminder: SOCIALISING makes things a little easier for you to come in hand with, but it's not so crucial to you that your life will come to a halt if you don't do it.

I know, I'm not much help because I don't know several things here and I'm not willing to make assumptions about how you feel and overlook what you go through during socializing all of the time.

I hope everything is going well for you. If you aren't, there isn't much I can do from the other side of the screen but wish you well and hope to see you soon smiling. In case I can help in any way possible or you would like to vent; feel free to reach out, I am always there :)

I'm sending you plenty of love ❤️

Yours-
