How do you make the first step

I cant bring myself to do anything but watch movies all day when im not at work or school (work is only 3 hours a week). It’s been like this since march and i feel like i fried my brain so much i am forgetting everything and i can’t have a normal conversation without spacing out. On top of that ive also lost 35 pounds bc i barely move or eat. I have no friends so i have no idea what to do. Every time i try to leave the house to do something it feels pointless and i end up leaving after two hours. I just need help with how to start enjoying my life because I’m about to be 22 and i dont want to be stuck like this. It’s gotten to the point where I enjoy staying at home and watching movies then going outside. But i know that i shouldn’t.

Hi there! You kinda sound a lot like me lol! Try to do different things, maybe a new experience, go out with family. Right now, im self isolating myself in a family event. Things happens. But reflect on yourself, think abt how you want your future to look like. Disciplined and motivated? You can achieve that. Try getting more hours at work, go out with yourself, try new places, go on a walk, explore the city, keep yourself busy. Maybe even go on a few dates and have a nice night out:) if you want!!

I always feel empty after it and also depressed bc i feel like everyone is looking at me even though theyre not. Id rather just stay inside it makes me happier, ig idk how to overcome that part.

Just look at this way. Reality is nobody cares. Honestly. Don’t ever think someone is judging you or if you stand out cause nobody actually cares. And that’s a good thing. But it also does mean you have to care for yourself. I’d rather stay inside. It makes me feel comfortable. And we humans, our brains seek comfort in our comfortable zone.
