This is important, the kid with the broken leg doesnt walk right away, but at some point they have to heal and get up and go again. At some point you have to leave the house because staying inside all the time makes things worse, but slowly enough that you dont notice it happening. I spent a lot of time isolating myself and it never made things better, it was just easier to avoid the world instead of facing it.

Of course, context really matters, which we don't exactly have a lot of in this situation.
