I’ve recently stopped trying to be a social person, I tried for decades, got addicted to alcohol (got sober), and I was always stressed. My only hang up now is feeling like a loser for not being social, not having friends, not being in a relationship. But not having those things is bringing me peace. I missed being left alone, doing my own thing even if it’s doing nothing. I just need to work on the negative self talk concerning societal norms.
