Things are hard when you're growing - you're learning new skills, learning to enjoy your alone time. Just let things be and see where it goes. Start looking at this part of your life like an adventure and grow into it.
You have no idea how much you helped me right now by posting these most encouraging words. This is exactly what I am going through - growing pains. And yes, I am overly hard on myself and need much more self compassion.

Thank you, @Molinit!
