Hi. I’m 18f. from 2017- late 2020, I didn’t hang out with anyone outside of school at all. since this happened during my middle school and some of my high school years, I think it affected me socially. after the pandemic, I transferred to a new high school and made some friends, and I was regularly hanging out with people nearly every day. I liked it. but lately, I’m worried ive been putting less and less effort into my friendships, and i just havent really been wanting to hang out with people.i havent actually seen some of my friends for over a month or two. the last time i hung out with someone was last friday, and even then it had been a week since i had actually hung out with anyone.
i want to hang out with people, but the thought of it makes me feel so tired. getting up, taking the train to them. lately all ive wanted is to wake up, feed the birds near my apartment, go to school, come home, do whatever, go to sleep. but i also dont really want people in my apartment.
I feel bad. they want to see me. theyve been asking me to hang out, but idk whats going on. im just. tired.
im worried they think im avoiding them all individually. im not. i dont know why im like this. i wish i wasnt. i wish hanging out with people came easy to me. i wish i was just a normal teen who regularly hangs out with friends.
what do i do?

Hi I’m a 19m seriously you just need to force yourself if you have to. You say you want to do it if that’s true than that little bit of anxiety or laziness you feel right before you go just push it down. I’m a introvert I get tired talking to people if that’s the case for you go to the washroom for 15 minutes and talk yourself into it. Look I say this to most people on this r/ but you know what to do when you where in high school you where doing what you say you want to do now what’s the difference fix it however you please.
