Oh yeah. Working provides some sort of structure and need to go out too. When I don't (as in, nearly all of the last 5 months), I go almost nowhere at all. Have to psych myself up for days just to get to the grocery store. Lack of structure does make it harder.

I think you're right on that one, jack123. While other parts are difficult, the most difficult part is getting out the door (at least for me). Therefore, making oneself go out is a good idea. I find that the more I don't go out, the more I am afraid to. It's a viscious circle.
Sorry to hear you are uncomfortable and feel you don't fit in, but know at least that you are not alone in that...
Here too.
