One thing i forgot to add to my previous post: also try getting a job. It doesnt have to be something major but something small like tutoring, or teaching a hobby (piano, drawing… fill in the blank). you could make money off of your talents and things your good at. (for me, as a girl, im good at doing hair so i will charge people to do sheitles and hair or sometimes ill just do it as a chesed.) Or get a bunch of small jobs like working in a hebrew school on a sunday, or sub in an elementary school/day camp, volunteer at one random chai lifeline event, etc… do chesed. Take every opportunity you can! Dont be lazy! (not that im saying that you are) it all helps! Dont be lazy! (not that im saying that you are) it all helps! Like i said, put/force yourself in different (social) situations!
*btw, i hate using the word social because it sounds scary- trust me i know, but in essence thats what it is so just pretend its not there. but know that it is very necessary to expose yourself to the very thing that you are afraid of to overcome it. you can do it, i know you can. because if i did all this, so can you.
again, Hatzlacha and keep us posted!
