I'm feeling great deal of loneliness
I've always been an outgoing and enthusiastic person. I'm extroverted and always find things to talk about. The thing is that after a breakup from a relationship of many years I'm now living alone with only one person being my real friend, and he's not the going out type. Many months had passed and I'm still the same. It seems like I've forgot how to make friends and to approach to girls to ask them out. All I do is talk to them through dating apps and it just don't work out for me. It's just like I'm somebody else, I have fear to approach people or make new friends in person. I don't even know to socialize anymore( in person). And here I am stuck living alone enjoying the company of my pet only everyday, and it doesn't matter if I go out to have adventures, I still feel lonely.
Try to do things for your self. Not only going out to entertain yourself but do things that will make you feel energized and happy. Exercise. That's the answer for you. It will make you feel strong and happy.
Besides that, don't be afraid, you'll never lose your extroverted self because that's who you are. Never lose hope. Trust yourself again, youre not this. You're better than that. Remember how you used to live.
Best of luck.
@Popitzik I want to remember, but it was so many years ago. Guess I have to start building my confidence from scratch
