Give it time, do not give up you will be surrounded by many new friends
Thank you! I find myself avoiding anything at all social, outside of work. I don't wanna give up I just need to figure out how to fix it. I miss having any type of relationships its getting old

I know what you mean!! I donāt like small talk, I feel like itās a waste of time so itās hard for me to engage with just anyone. But when I do find someone to have a deep conversation with, those moments are nice. Anyway, I do wish I was better at carrying a meaningless conversation, I feel like I limit opportunities but dodging them. Something I need to work on.

Yup same here! I donāt have as much time as you but I feel the same outside of AA and home
I feel much the same! I hope it doesn't last forever lol it's nice to know I'm not alone

Iāve been going through something similar. It seems to be getting better gradually. I hope it improves for you soon.

In answer to your first question, obviously no. You arenāt the only one who feels this way. I canāt fully answer your question, āHow do I make it stop?ā I can only share my experience, strength, and hope. In AA we donāt give advice. (Ideally) but we do share our own ātruthā.
First I worked the steps. That is what I practice. Somewhere that has transformed into living the steps. And thatās what helps me with changing anything.
I think many of us have that exact feeling when getting soberā¦at least I doā¦.Iāve been doing things that make me uncomfortable to get over the weird awkward anxiety I feel socializingā¦I know exposure will help but conversations while under the influence were easy probably cuz I had no thought progress behind it haha
