Why am I so alone?

Question

I’m in my early 20s I should be living life right? But instead I’m stuck here think what is wrong with me and why am I so alone? It seem to that no one want to be around me or do somethings that I like. I’m a person who likes to try new things and explore but I don’t want to do it alone. I've try being in the mindset I can do things by myself but I’m honestly scared to do it. I’m antisocial and have bad anxiety but still wanna leave the house a few time a month to do something fun but have no one to do it with.

If you've got anxiety, as someone with diagnosed Generalized Anxiety Disorder myself, I highly recommend therapy and medication.

Getting yourself on the right meds and processing the sources of your anxiety will help you rebuild your life.

In my early 20s I was in a similar position, but ten years later it's much better after spending the time and effort to create those healthy coping mechanisms and working to get control over my mental health.

I don’t know, but possibly the so-called antisocial thing, or at least the social clumsiness (like me, I’m a nerd). I ain’t sure you’re antisocial. My mum says I am, but friends don’t say so. If you’re certain you ain’t a sociopath, you’re probably not antisocial. Could be asocial, though. Find a few friends. Clear the mind often. Sharpen the saw. Don’t worry — be happy!

I always say you are never alone if you have imaginary friends & if you have imaginary friends consider yourself privileged that they let you see them. On the other side of things I go out alone all the time & to be honest I love it because I do my own thing & play by my own rules & always manage to have fun.

I am like that myself though only time I go out is to the movies or a restaurant with my nephew. i am antisocial as well and in my 20's it was definitely hard to get out of my shell. But as I got older, I just got bored of being home on the weekend.

The simple fact of the matter is that for some of us this world is never going to be right. Not by societal norms because if you are truly introverted to the extreme with a healthy dose of societal anxiety on top then you are well and truly fucked until you learn to accept a standard contrary to your own... or so I've been told. I may have misinterpreted the question.

I realized just now that I go through cycles of feeling that exact same way although I do have people to hangout with

I had a dry spell where I was invisible, hopefully you will come out of this quickly, I was and am my own person I don't follow the crowd so yes I was alone
