I am 27 with a lot of people around me already married or getting closer to getting married. Whereas I am probably not going to be at that place for maybe the next 5-7 years. I fear the next 5-7 years are going to be very lonely, maybe I will get another chance to socialize once I am married myself. But till then, maybe I'll have to contend myself with my own company.

The sad bit is that its only now that I have finally started to grasp social interactions. Lived a majority of my life in a very depressive state and only been able to get out of all that recently.



You’ll be good - you’ve done the hard part :). Just reach out if you fall back into it!

Also, every interaction Is social - keep up the new skill when you shop, chat online, get gas, etc.

Most people like people (I know, I don’t get it either a lot of the time) so just keep putting yourself out there!
