After the Pandemic, i Feel Like I’ve Lost my Social Skills and Struggle to Reconnect With Friends. how can i Rebuild my Confidence in Social Situations?

Dear friend, please know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. The pandemic has left many of us feeling a bit rusty when it comes to social interactions, and that’s completely normal. Remember, social skills are like muscles – they might feel weak at first, but they’ll strengthen with practice. Start small by reaching out to one close friend for a casual coffee date. Focus on quality over quantity in your interactions. Be kind to yourself and acknowledge that everyone is adjusting to this new normal together. Celebrate small victories, like initiating a conversation or attending a gathering. With time and patience, you’ll find your rhythm again. You’ve already shown resilience by wanting to reconnect – that’s a beautiful first step!
