Towards the end of 2024, I came to the realization that the reason why I kept getting into toxic relationships was because I would settle for anyone who would listen to me and gave me the slightest bit of attention. After my breakup, I understood it was because I hated to be alone. And this wasn’t just limited to romantic relationships, but to friendships and familial relationships as well. I was holding onto just about anyone, regardless of the quality of the relationship, simply because I thought having them in my life was better than having no one.
So for 2025, I want to commit myself to learning how to be more comfortable being by myself, especially in public.

Sorry deleted my comment because I didn’t have any self help books to list. The best way to get comfortable doing things alone is just by doing them. Prob want books on social anxiety or something like that. Also depends what activities you want to do alone? Going shopping at the mall alone is much different than going to a bar alone, and those are going to be different than going to a concert alone. My big thing last year was going to a 3 day weekend camping event alone. Took me forever to commit but once the money was spent, there was no going back.
