Lowk considering dropping out of college again (alr dropped out once but came back this semester) cz i cannot bring myself to leave my house, but don’t want to disappoint my parents. Covid messed me up badly, i was already someone that preferred to stay at home but now i’m almost 21 and i will do anything to stay home TT is this,,, my shut-in era? No but fr i don’t particularly enjoy talking to people or going outside im happy just reading and staying in bed :3 why do i need to graduate to avoid disappointment in my parents TT
This sounds like avoidance as a result of anxiety/ depression. More common than you think and should be addressed with a mental health professional. Open up to a primary care doctor if you can, or to your parents/ counselor/ anybody you trust.
I've been in the same boat and still working through it. Just know that there is nothing to be ashamed of and that things can improve with the right help :)
this sound like my life maybe little by little make a list on what u wish to do slowly by slowly complete it by going out three times a week smth along the lines
fuck I am an absolute homebody! I despise humans. But I still kinda try to go out to run on the track. i suggest you start gym. It'll help you and bring you out of your comfort zone.
Completely agree with bisexual disaster bro, I'm in the same boat as you. And I'm not kidding when I say this, the more you don't make the effort to go out and do something, the more you're gonna be stuck in this state, and the less you will achieve (and the more you will regret). Personally, I don't plan on going back to school because A. my BA degree would be totally useless if I'm not planning to pursue a Masters or PhD, and B. I've secured a job and I'm climbing my way up the ranks. As long as you're being proactive in life, there is nothing for your parents to be disappointed about. Given the fact that they've allowed you to chill at home after dropping out for the first time, I'm guessing all they care about is to get you stable and healthy so you can continue reaching for your goals. Stay strong, and seek external help (e.g. therapists). Don't continue to keep it to yourself, it can make things worse. No one is truly alone!!!
hey Idk if this is unsolicited advice/opinion but you really need to go out and get comfortable with it, it's hard and prob screwed but much better than dropping out and staying at home. you might not think it's terrible right now but one day it will catch up to you and it'll be too late to do anything. you can read anytime you want, you have your entire life ahead of you for that. just go to college, get your degree and make friends you like and get along with, maybe your own community, maybe even build a career, it'll be worth the discomfort you may feel for a little while.
