Yeah to both! I’m actually shy but get bored easily like I love doing stuff at home but also I want talk to people and have fun, but it’s like someone’s tied or broke like we’ll always be broke at least have fun

And there are so many ways you can still have community indoors, I think a lot of people forget that. I regularly host get togethers, board game nights, video game nights, etc. with my friends, especially when it’s cold out because screw walking to bars in this weather. But the balance of staying in and going out is so crucial. I’m an introvert through and through, and I still get stir crazy after staying in for so long

Yes exactly! It’s like ppl don’t like to be inconvenient but damn I just want to talk. I can’t wait to move to a city tbh to find that

I’m telling you moving to a city solved like 99% of my social problems. All my friends were 3+ hours away from me and my fiancé, and hanging out with each other only gets boring after a while. Now I can just drive 20 minutes and be with my friends, and there’s SO much unique stuff to do and see compared to the boring cornfield I was living in before 😭

this is me! i have no car as a sophomore in college (that also has terrible anxiety) and i say to try and talk to people in your class! i absolutely hate talking to strangers but the best friendships come from those classes that you hate from the bottom of your heart. i met one of my good college friends in a stupid chem class and now we’re thick as thieves. clubs and things like that are also an option! and i also highly recommend to just start complimenting people randomly or point

I will try all of this! I think my biggest hurdle is finding people who want to go out with me and then actually getting there
