I'm pretty sure I've written this year about how socially isolated I've become. I'm not quite sure how it happened.
I'm especially glad I didn't end up quitting my job this summer, because if I had, I'd probably only ever leave the house to go to the grocery store!
Tomorrow I've got an appointment to go to lunch with a coworker who coincidentally is a friend from high school, and for some reason I've got a lot of anxiety about it. I'm not even sure what the anxiety is about. He's super friendly, and I've known him since I was 11, so it's not like we won't have anything to talk about. I guess I'm just out of practice at doing much of anything outside my routines.
Usually the things I worry about like this turn out much better than anticipated. Here's hoping. I'm trying to start doing something sociable at least twice a month, so I'd better get started!

It's definitely always a better thing to remain as social as possible. Keep it up, and let us know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have found your blog!
ReplyDeleteI too have become isolated and although I know how to fix it, I don't, simply because I hate getting out of my comfort zone.
It's nice to know that i'm not the only one with these problems :)
Please keep on writing these articles, you're helping people a lot more than you might think!
