In first grade I used to be like one of most hyperactive kids around. Always playing, smiling, having fun with everyone.
Then I got bullied, became the ‘quiet kid’ and before I realized it I was shutting myself away from any social contact because of very bad anxiety.
Now I am mostly over my anxiety, but all my social skills have vanished. I am slowly regaining them, but the one thing I can’t seem to regain is my energy. I am very low energy and I miss having a lot of energy. I try to surround myself with high energy people since I like them, but I can’t seem to befriend them since I’m always so unenthusiastic.
Any pointers on how to get my energy back?
