I completely understand you when you say that it's at home where you feel comfortable and calm, but take like an obligation being outside for a time. It's necessary and you never know what surprises you can find that make a different in your life.
Your grandchidren need you from time to time. Society need people like you. It has been mentioned before about volunteer work. Think about it.
I want to introduce you, Miky and Perla. They are the doggies in my avatar. They make me go out and meet people. They give me companion. The best companion ever.

Believe me I do force myself to get out, it has been super difficult this last 2 years with having severe anxiety due to having weaned off long term klonopin. Most people on this site have no idea what torture it is, so they don't know what to say. Whatever, it's still anxiety.
I would love to have a pet but my landlord says no way. Not even a hamster. He is quite the pr*ck as you can imagine. I am moving out in May when my lease is up, although I really dread that. I hope to luck up on a place that will allow me to have a pet. I love kittens. Your doggies are adorable! Count yourself lucky!
Again, I do go out when I know that it's going to be anxiety provoking and hard. I may be calm and less anxious when I am at home, but lots of times it's quite miserable. It's a trade off. Getting out of the house helps to get me out of my head.
I think I am still too anxious to commit to volunteering yet. I could not guarantee that I could be dependable either.
