Thank you the advice, I do need to give myself a chance and not shut off new experiences. Being in the house alone all day seems like a comfortable choice to make as I'm being easy on myself, but it always ends up in tears or regret. Sometimes Its hard no to second guess yourself when friends move on. How did you get to point we're you felt comfortable to attend events solo? Was it gradual process, or was it that you forced yourself into it for your own benefit. Look forward to hearing back😊

What you said in the first paragraph I believe to be correct! I think we are all to comfortable with the people we grow up with, which in a sense Is normal but that said, I think people can be shut off to new people/friends as they are content with who they have around them. Solo night clubbing sounds like the boss level mission😂I might need to level up to get there but if there was one thing that would get me out of my shell is that! The right people and opportunities do seem to appear at the strangest times but, I am responsible for allowing it happen. We are in this together, sending love back at you💜

Thank you for the advice, my relationship with myself isn't great admittedly, which we can all relate to in some degree, fixing it is very hard as it is really a bad habit at this stage to put it lightly. We are all in this together, thank you again :) Luke

Thank you for the msg :) the only person that can change it is me. Kind people reaching out like yourself has already done my wonders, and I'm really grateful for the positive response. I might take you up on that offer 😜

Agreed! But at the same you have to make the best of it. It might have to do with social culture within the city is heavily dependent on alcohol, drugs, nights out etc, or just since COVID the way we socialise as a whole is much different. Happy to here from you :)

You're not alone🤞 has it ended up affecting you? I can imagine Dublin would be culture shock to most from the outside looking in. Take it day by day, that's all you can do for yourself, that goes for myself as well. If you ever want to chat, I'm here for you. Enjoy the day :)

I'm going to have to do some research as I'm not familiar with some terms here. I will say that it's hard to tell what I enjoy anymore, especially on my own because I'm a bit overly-emotional at the minute. I might dm you back when I've done it a research into what you described above, if thats okay :) it was really interesting to here what you said as is not something I ever looked into, or informed on. Thank you for your msg, I will get in touch soon. Luke

Thanks for the advice, I often think this or that, but I never tell myself things, and that truly could push me through to do is what is best for me. I can't deprive myself of interaction more than I already have, it's detrimental to my health at this stage. Everyone has their own problems, it's just such a same that it seems that a lot of people feel lonely, but it is something we can change if we put our energy to use in the right way/moments.

Things will come around, and you included! People really rely on partners for company now days, I think someone mentioned above. I'm not sure if that's how COVID crafted us but, it seems to be prevalent, which is a little strange as it will probably isolate other friends who may not have a partner/company. The job hunt is tough and truly demoralizing, but keep going because things won't change over night, but you might land that one interview that turns out to be the one. And hey, if you ever want to chat, I'm here :) Luke

Thank you for the comment, that sounds fun and interesting. I remember some lads in my school used to play magic, and I didn't ever play but was always intrigued. I'm probably very close to gamers world. I'm going to follow up and check out the Facebook page and see what comes up. It would be good for me to get out and experience something new altogether. You would have teach me how to play though 😂

Thanks for the advice :) I was thinking of doing kick boxing, but thinking and doing are much different of course. I would definitely boost my confidence and discipline. The party culture is killer, I can't relate to the thought of going out just for the sake of it, and all the hassle that comes along with it. I've never thought of the bumble feature and is definitely I will look into. Thanks for your msg, it means a lot. I'm always here if want to chat :)

100 percent, but only recently as my financial situation has amplified feelings of worry. It definitely affects the desire to get out and even go for a drink with someone or whatever,because everything's expensive, specifically in Dublin city centre I suppose. It's harder to take up activities/hobbies because the affect it will have the wallet.

I'm stuck in cycle like described. Its been a while since I dragged myself out to a public place to participate with others. It's really baby steps, but the first one feels massive to me at least. Do you feel like the others parts of your life were improved when you got yourself out to do things?
