@emotionalPenguin3075 maybe start small? Do a little thing you may be putting off for a while, any physical activity like changing your sheets, organizing your cupboard and then move on to a next challenge, maybe try to walk around your block and then maybe do grocery next until you find your way more outside and connecting with people etc.. another tip maybe, open your windows, slide your curtains, let some sunshine in. Hope this helps.

Hopefully you also have someone who can go out with you. Maybe address the root cause of your struggle with connecting more and fostering relationships.

Hey ❤️ I hear what you mean, isolating can feel easier in the moment but then it can make everythig heavier in the long run. Something that has helped me (and that I'm a huge fan of) is starting really small -- for example, sending a message to a friend, sitting in a shared space, saying hello or smiling at a stranger, or even sitting next to someone in class. I try to remember that I don't need to necessarily be super social all of a sudden; little steps can slowly help break that cycle.
