How do you rebuild confidence and stop being someone who avoids social contact? I have never been Brad Pitt but I have gained more weight over the last year or so sure due to an injury and change of job. I was never the centre of attention but I was sociable at one point. Now I work in an office job on nights and apart from the calls that come in I don't have anyone to talk to. Now when I am on my days off I am finding it harder to just go out to the shop or go for a coffee. I seem to talk myself out of it most days and end up wasting my free time doing literally nothing. I feel I'm becoming more of a hermit each day. I have an appointment to try change my medication as I don't think it works for me anymore but I was wondering does anyone have any tips? Anything they do to at least try to interact with other.... human beings? Thanks in advance
