So, on my road to social recovery, I find myself stuck. As I get more comfortable talking to people, including my friends, family, and even strangers, i find I need more. I HATE being alone. And, being home = being alone pretty much. It's just my mom and I, and we both are busy, and she's not enough.
So, i'm looking to expand my social circle here...any ideas? I find myself often going to the library when i'm bored...but, that doesn't really help, because i just look around, and never actually talk to anyone. What are some things I can do where I am engaged and talking to people? I was thinking of volunteering at my church? Sometimes, i go to the mall, but I always get too scared to talk to people there. I think i need a more natural situation to get more comfortable talking to people in.
I have a problem where I get so agitated whenever i'm in front of my computer. I feel like now that I actually "can" talk to people, I get antsy when i'm doing nothing, or not trying my absolute hardest to get out there(i know, its bad, and i need to relax, haha).
Any suggestions?
