Am I stuck or it's normal?
I just got into lockdown in 2020 which was followed by my two years academic gap for Neet preparation,total 3.5 years of being completely at home at the age of 16 to 19 .As a result i became so socially inactive that I just avoid meeting people it feels very huge to even greet others whom I know . I just discovered this is known as social anxiety but the real in me wants to be between people, wants to show everyone my personality but whenever I push to be friendly with others it just get so awkward for me. In short when I try to get socialize my worst side which I know isn't me gets involved in the conversation and then it becomes so hard to try again next Time...As of now I started to feel confortable being alone . But it wasn't my choice.if there's anything you would suggest... please go on
Go do some solo travelling. All the answers to your questions are within yourself, awaiting to be discovered. Some amount of self-instrospection via solo travelling will help you discover those answers. For me, it did very effectively as I was also an introvert like you.
Sounds very interesting to me , thanks for this
Join some gym or sports club, make new friends, try to get socialize more.
If you have a cult gym nearby go there as it’s to make friends in group classes. You took time to explore that’s all. You are only 19 so chill. There are some of us who have secured a job completed MBBS PG MD and didn’t get to spend their 25 -30Th birthday with family or friends and age of 32 gave Cat / GMAT exam joined ISB at 34 got into BCG consulting and advising hospitals how to run their business. So you never know. Failure or success is a state of mind. “But yes you need to figure out a way to earn money - by 25.” It could be by a Job or business or a trade skill to tend for yourself and this will give you some confidence to carry yourself.
Go to your local toastmasters. Be comfortable in your skin, in public, with your thoughts
Still you a still a kid, start exploring… it’s a right time.. all the best
