    It’s definitely not a natural feeling, and I totally get what you mean about it feeling like a job. I still struggle with it sometimes myself. I literally have to play mind games with myself to force myself to go out at times.

    The unfortunate thing is, if you don’t try at all, you’re not going to get better. Like I said, it’ll be rough at first. You’ll feel super uncomfortable and want to run back to the safety of your solitude. But you have to push through it, or you’ll end up stuck where you are.

    Mental health access is not great, but if you have an option to speak with a therapist, that may be a good first step if you need a helpful push

          But it is true. I’m not writing a prophecy. I’ve been like this for decades now
