I spent so much time inside the house for the longest of time. Now that I can finally go out and hangout with friends whom I missed so much, it feels like there’s a tall wall separating me from them, making it harder to connect. Especially when milestones and progress are tapped on and brought in the conversation. I feel so little listening to their achievements during the lockdowns whilst I was battling a lot of internal struggles silently. I can’t even bring it in the conversation when it is filled with positivity and success. I cannot open my mouth. Instead, I just feel bad of how stagnant and underperforming I have been.

That’s why i swore to my self to make a world Tour when i’m a grown Up , to have Things i can Talk about make Milestones, make experiences, etc…
And the thought of it is my Ray of Hope in this monent
You’re going to have to be honest with them. Talking about personal shit is just about the definition of a real friend. You could say something like “lockdown was really hard for me and I’m not really ready to talk about it.”
