I (26F) am miserable and cannot see a happy future for myself. I live with my family and don’t have any friends I see regularly. I can feel my life wasting away but I don’t know what to do about it. I just want to be the type of person who has fun plans and hangs out with friends on the weekend but I spend my weekends at home. I feel like my personality prevents me from having a life. I feel so stuck and wish I was a different person. People see me as a person who doesn’t like to go out but the truth is I hate being home and wish I had people to go out and do things with. The person people view me as is not who I want to be. I wish I could be the person I want to be.

I hear you. You aren’t alone. Sorry, I know it sounds cliche but it’s true. I wish I had advice for you but I’m looking for that same advice as well. Maybe try going out and doing things alone. I know it might suck, but it might beat staying in the house bored. I can relate so much with you on everything you said. Are you seeing anyone to talk this out with?
Could you try finding local meet up groups? Best way to change is just slowly put yourself out there more. Also if the first group doesn’t work out well don’t be discouraged! Try a different one! Eventually you’ll find one that clicks and you’ll make friends as well 🙂 I understand where you’re coming from especially being stuck at home. It really is like a trap but you just have to force yourself out.
