New in Town and Afraid to Leave Home

Anonymous Wily Meddler #862 · General

Hey everyone, I just moved to a new city last month, and it’s been harder than I thought. Every time I think about going out to meet people or explore the area, I feel like I’m missing something important at home, even though I know there isn’t anything really going on. It feels silly because every day when I walk past all these cool cafes, parks, and shops, I tell myself I should try them out, but then I go back inside my apartment and order takeout instead. Is it normal to feel like this? Or am I just a total homebody who doesn’t deserve a new city full of opportunities? Please let me know if you’ve felt the same way or have any advice on how to push through. 🙏
