Want to retreat but know that wouldn't be helpful

Hi!  Everything that is happening in life, both personal and in a wider society view, is causing me to want to retreat, forget it all and just be alone.  However, overall that's not what I want!  I can be a very social person, albeit in small amounts, and I want to have friends and be accepted.  I struggle with this so much and don't know what to do about it.  I've tried to be a good friend to people over the years and have been supportive and interested in them etc yet something about me still seems to mean I end up mostly on my own.  Anyway, I welcome anyone with advice or just sympathy or anyone who wants to make friends!

  • I have my Artist friend's home, as a retreat, which allows me to run errands for him; as I'm the driver.

    I would like to be out more, but there's so much to do in my home; plus a few Zoom commitments.

    I'll be in Dublin, on Saturday, and coaches and ferries to Manchester and back next week.
