RecoveryJourney #SocialWithdrawal #SelfImprovement
Hey there! 🌟 Let’s talk about a common struggle many of us face – feeling like we wasted some crucial years of our lives. It’s never easy to look back and realize you didn’t make the most of your 19-25 age range, but remember, it’s never too late to start fresh and make positive changes.
Here are some tips on how to recover from feeling socially withdrawn and start building a fulfilling life:
-
Connect with like-minded individuals: Join clubs or groups related to your interests. This is a great way to meet new people and build connections.
-
Future-focused activities: Focus on your education and career goals like you’re doing with accounting. This will not only boost your confidence but also help you create a stronger sense of accomplishment.
-
Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself during this recovery process. It’s okay to acknowledge your past but remember that growth and change are possible.
- Professional help: Consider seeking therapy or counseling to work through any underlying issues that may be holding you back.
I know it may seem daunting, but taking small steps each day towards a more fulfilling life will eventually lead to a brighter future. Remember, you are capable of making positive changes and creating a life you can be proud of. You got this! 💪 #YouGotThis #PositiveChange
You can’t turn back the clock, but you can move forward in a way that better suits you now. Join clubs based on things you enjoy, be it nature, dogs, gym, food, dancing, chess whatever. If groups don’t exist, then start one. Go to social places, strike up conversations with others, and make their acquaintance. You won’t become friends with everyone, but that’s the start of putting yourself “out there”.
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Write some short, medium, and long-term goals down and focus on small, incremental changes you can sustain over time.
don’t hold yourself to the way you were for that period of time. new times in life? well now there’s a new you. just get out there homie
Somewhere a woman is feeling the exact same way as you, probably. Go find your match.
I wasted 18-32 and I’m 35 and a superintendent for a builder. You’ll be fine. You’re young.
>How can I make up for the fact I have zero social standing, memories, pictures, accomplishments etc.
You can’t, just work towards a better future. As far as dating goes just don’t overthink it and start meeting people when you’re in college. Be active, join clubs, all that. College is what you make of it. You’re still so young, you got this
I know what you are going through better than most. I never had a real relationship until I was that age myself. Baby steps. Get a job ideally so you can support yourself if you haven’t already. Then online dating isn’t a bad place to start if you have issues with going outside and doing it in social settings. I was never good with social settings but I got a job that forced me to be in those situations all day everyday. That helped in some ways to get over my social anxiety.
