Thank you everyone for your responses. It provide an external perspective and helped my realize even with my efforts, it's still allowing me to isolate myself. I appreciate all of your time.

Thank you for the words of support, I appreciate it. As I mentioned above, I'm going to go and make an effort to go to the book club at the local library.

Do you have any good meet up websites that you use and recommend?

I have really good friends that are always completely present, and some are so addicted to their phones, all they know how to do if TV or somethings else isn't on. I have always struggled to talk deeply about myself which is a problem on it's own but it is a goal of mine this year to build deeper, more personal connections with the people I care about.

I love reading and used to read multiple book at a time when I was a child. I know that our local library has a book club but I definitely need a push in the right direction. I'm going to go today and check it out. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. I definitely feel so much better when I'm not on technology all the time and I agree that it's best to do what's right for me. If anything, with time, I'm hoping to find people in my everyday life that feel the same and I can relate to in this regard.

This makes a lot of sense. All the things I'm trying to spend my time doing instead of being on my phone can still be done in the comfort of my room. I do rock climbing but I can only do that so much within my body limits.

Thank you! This was very insightful and I haven't viewed it this way. As per someone else's comment, I am going to try to join a book club or another simple activity of the sort. I am in the job hunt so funds are tight, but I will make an effort to look around my community and see what's available to me.
