Socializing is way too stressful. I’d like more friends or to go out to bars but whenever I do I don’t have that great of a time. I spend more money than I want and spend the night stressing over random interactions. 

 My friend is trying to help me, he knows it is not healthy to stay cooped up but I don’t feel I am ready. He also thinks his way of helping me is to make me feel like shit about my life. My life is far from great but I don’t wanna hear all that shit, it makes me want to further retreat into what is comfortable. 

 I have been taking steps to make my life better, eating better, working out, etc. it would be a lot easier for me to continue this bettering of myself without people making me doubt myself further. 

 I know I am overthinking things but I can’t help it. I wish I was like everyone else. I’m a 21 year old guy, I have people reaching out to me regularly to do shit and 9/10 times I bail. I’m probably gonna ruin my relationships with this behavior and be left all alone. 

 I just want to stay home and watch TV.
