    mumtaza,

    Sometimes when we spend too much time alone, we forget how fun it is to connect to others. You think about your friendships and worry, for instance. They invite you to do something, and instead of seeing how fun it is to go out and play with your friends, perhaps you feel the weight of all that anxiety, that fear. If you feel you need some time alone, trust that and be alone. If you feel you’re making excuses, then that’s a pretty good time to let go, jump in and say yes. Consider the path is self nourishing, you don’t have to have the energy first… it’ll come when you break the inertia. Said differently, once you do go, maybe you’ll have fun and remember the inner child. 🙂

    With warmth,
    Matt

    mumtaza,
    Matt, as always, gives wise advice. The only other thing I will share with you is how I practice making decisions. I ask myself “Is this coming from Love or from Fear?” It sounds from your lack of motivation that you are coming from fear.

    We as humans thrive in relationships. This has been proven scientifically that is one of the key factors in our happiness. You already know that.

    This is one of the “fake it until you make it” situations where you feel the fear/reluctance/lack of motivation and do it anyway. In fact, why don’t YOU invite your friends instead of waiting for an invitation from them?

    Metta,
    Mark
