One of the things I always struggled with was going out alone, if I needed to have fun or buy something important. I always needed someone to accompany me otherwise. I would hardly step out.

It made me realize that I am not comfortable going out alone. While I can easily spend good me-time at home, I struggle in social places

Not only you will learn to have fun by yourself but you will also make new friends

I recently signed up for a dance class, and it has so much difference in my life, I am able to have fun with myself as well as socialize with other dance lovers

Sometimes I also love to journal, when I am at home, bake something watch movies, and paint once in a while

I at times go out to shop alone and all this help me push myself and just be more comfortable in my own company
