Dumb question, I know, it should be common knowledge or instinctual. I’ve been sheltered most of my life and now at 20 I want to get out in the world and meet people and do things. My therapist said I should spend time going out and having fun instead of ruminating in my home.
The issue is I don’t know how to, or rather I don’t know what to do. I go to the gym everyday which is fun I guess but I’m not really getting out of my shell that way. I’m also in classes but so far people have been relatively closed off.
Do you guys have any recommendations? What do people do for fun?
Sorry if this isn’t a proper fit for this sub btw, no clue where I would ask this question.

Go to parks and try to play sports with others, go to swimming areas and make small talk.
Find a group on Facebook that is to your hobby or common interest and find out if they have group meet ups for it.
Maybe you could volunteer for something you’re passionate about?
I recommend MeetUp. Find something that you’re interested in and be proactive about meeting the people there. Take the first step by introducing yourself. **And then** If you hit it off with anyone, say something like “Today was so much fun! I really enjoyed meeting you. Can I get your number/Instagram/TikTok so we can get together another time?” You could even plan something there in the moment.
