I am trying to spend more, but I would be lucky to have a once per week outing with friends. That comes with the territory of being a single parent and working full time.
Covid kinda messed me up. Barely keeping in touch with anyone, wasting away the days. And then it's hard even now to get back to socialising.
After having ADHD diagnosis and being put on meds it's easier. I think half of my introversion was just because my mind wouldn't shut up. It's hard to be social in that state.
I'm definitely not turning into an extroverted party animal, most of the things I love doing are introverted by nature. I'm starting to get to know a few familiar faces while mountain biking which is nice.
I intend to get back into biking more; it has been a while. With our youngest being just past 2 now, sleeping is happening more so my energy levels are returning to normal.
Congrats, it's great to get past that part. It's basically all downhill from here.
