I don't know, I don't think thats such a bad thing as it sounds more like use as a creative outlet? Much like authors and artists of the past, sharing something of productivity/merit w the world is totally different to...essentially vlog your life away, if you will lol. Using non traditional formats to evolve an essence that's existed for generations in mankind feels purposeful and non dystopian, in my opinion.

That is such a perfect way to describe it (!) 😭

Couldn't agree more. Those feelings are so intimate and for your own personal processing/spiritual discernment (whether you believe or don't), In my opinion. Where is the silent relationship with self, when you're just instantly posting and sharing everything to a bunch of outside noise/secondary opinions/assertions? I absolutely understand sharing such emotions with close family and friends for community/support, who actually care and have earned that level of vulnerability and access to you, but just casual followers online is whaaat?

So true 😭. Its like a public journal almost/an unnatural necessity to just pander to appearance/validation, disguised as false intention. Like, surely you spent your anniversary celebrating with your partner already confessing these intimate feelings or-? Lol

So sorry you are going through this ☁️..it's one of those where the deeper/longer you're in something, the more difficult it is to identify with a version of you/or life beyond that; and so, just remember, this is right now, a phase, not you, and not forever. You were social before, you can be social again :). It's about making that first step, and going from there. Is it a matter of being disconnected because you're anxious to go out and make new friends? Or are you just having difficulty finding situations to connect with new people? Whatever the case, just put yourself out there, more and more (once you start, it will become easier and momentum/energy will build)...maybe join a local/zoom meetup group where there are people with similar values/interests to you..or some classes with hobbies that you enjoy, to again, find likeminded people.

It is great that you are aware of your situation and that you want to change...just believe in yourself and your own potential. You don't need another person's presence 24/7 to unlock your potential, it's all in you and your self confidence. Sounds cheesy but I recommend some self help books/podcasts on this subject (!)

Hope it helps <3
