I can't leave the house by myself. The last time I did was probably in 2020 when lockdown was about.. I don't know how to fix this. I don't know what I'm scared of exactly but I hate this feeling.
One of my hobbies is photography but my social phobia has stopped me from leaving my house and I can't do that hobby often anymore. I don't have friends I can go out with, I don't have anybody who I am comfortable enough with to go out for walks with but that's not the point. I want to be able to go out by myself again and do my photography I just don't know how.
I realised that I was similar, and it got worse.
I would happily go out with my wife to places, but she does have to go away for work, and during her trips I did not go out at all. She then manoeuvred me into looking after her sister's dog when she was away for a week, and it got me out of the house lots!
I want to get my own dog, but need to weigh up all the pros and cons carefully.
