Ive been isolating for so long that im terrified of making a friend, i dont even know how to at this point. Im so terrified that ill freeze up or get stuck in an uncomfortable situation. Like what would we do? I have nothing to talk about except trauma bonding and i know ill spiral in my head about every little thing and what if i want to leave or want them to leave and idk how to go about that. It sounds so stupid but every time i think i may be up for the challenge i just ghost them or push it off… what do i do? How do i get past it. I keep telling myself the more i put it off the harder it will get but i just cant take the jump

      I often struggle with isolating. Having one person who can pull you out every now and again helps a lot. I'm insanely lucky, because I've got 3 people, my sister, my best friend, and my fiance. My sister drags me away every now and again to spend time with her and her kids. My best friend invites me to all kinds of things, even though I often decline. My fiance takes me on little trips almost daily, just to everyday places like the store, gas station, restaurants, things like that... I really hope this helps... Basically, just start small, ask a friend you use to have if they'd like to go get groceries with you
