Jude I was in the same place as you. Until this year in January I changed. I started to realize I can do things alone and I found peace with myself. I also do see my friends a lot as well since they now join me on the activities I do alone. You also gotta realize, you can always fit in 2-3 hours to hang with anyone, even if you guys go on hikes or gym sessions together, you bang two birds with one stone you get your exercise in and you have fun with friends. me personally I feel it’s important to have that social interaction and to have those people by your side. If they don’t negatively impact you and they bring you up and give you joy don’t push them away.
