Discussion Anyone hoping to go out more to help with loneliness

[Isolatedloser]

I know that I should go out more. There's a reason why my username is "isolatedloser" I'm very agoraphobic and struggle with getting outside of the house to do things. I love skiing and would like to devote this winter to skiing. I have fun doing it even though I'm not that good. But I want to be good. Anyone out here that is like me and just needs to live in the world and not stay at home all the time?

i'm just like you. planning to go outside for long periods of time stresses the hell out of me because i'm a very paranoid person, i just prefer to stay home where i know i'm safe by obsessively checking every single one of my locks every half an hour lol. but i have a dear friend who i trust a lot, and the only time i go outside is with them... i'm hoping that in the future i can build myself up enough to the point that i can consistently start going out on my own.

skiing sounds fun, i've always wanted to do that. i'm happy you found something you enjoy. progress is progress! and practice makes perfect :)

i also love your username

The more you let anxiety control your life and isolate yourself as a result, the more difficult it is to escape. Don't let it get in the way of doing what you love.

Simple, but definitely good advice

I feel this. Autism makes going out impossible. I went to a networking event. It felt like my ears were being waterboardded and staabbed wiith knives in my ears. I can't do this anymore.

I'm autistic as well and that heavily contributes to my isolated nature. A networking event would just be too much so I get that was not a good experience. I feel the burden of having autism as well. I hope you find peace in this world. I struggled for a good minute figuring out what to say and if I did say anything bad let me know and I'll apologize. Hoping to hear back from you.

I would go out more but. everyone and everything is inexplicably annoying to me and it makes me feel bad. i only really go outside if it's necessary (work, some event I'm dragged to) :(

okay but the description of waterboarding and stabbing in the ears describes how i feel to a t. just know you're not alone in this because i feel the same way.
