How can I stop being a Hermit?

Utah is very different than Texas.  I am sure you know that now. You have been blessed with a large family and  I am sure there will be someone who will help you get back home.

watch tv and try to mimic the behavior of a functional member of society.  avoid sitcoms, talk shows, daytime drama, news programs... uh, on second thought, avoid tv altogether and just bs your way through, and if u fudge up, then ur not ready to go yet.

Join a dance class, sports club or anywhere you can meet new people.\nTry doing something that you have always been too scared to do, you never know, it may give you the buzz you are looking for.\nIf all else fails, book a week off work, pack a bag, go to the airport and get a cheap last minute flight to anywhere young and fun.\nLastly, try having a more positive attitude. If you act like your life is boring, people aren't going to be queueing up to be your friend - act like yours is a life worth being part of, and they will be flocking to your door.

1st , if this some one your father or mother try to find your own place to live a lone , and better travel to another city and make a new life \n2nd always thing to make a good future for your self you need to be on your own and drive your life not others , and you control your life when you really feel this way you will start to be creative and make your own way of life , it is not easy but if you want you must fight to make it , life is not easy

I can relate with you as even I am an introvert but I try my best to step out of the comfort zone. Make a conscious effort everyday to say Hi to everyone you know. That would improve your confidence with the people you know. Once you realise you are being accepted by them, you will slowly gain confidence and then you can try the same with meeting new people. A casual talk on the weather or the surrounding is the perfect ice-breaker. Its all in the mind, and once you conquer it no one can stop you from being an extrovert.

You can start going to a local buddhist group.  Most communities have them.  Look in the phone book or on the internet.  Sangha or Dharma are good words to use.  Asian temples are often buddhist, so you can start there if nothing else.  Start reading buddhist books and practicing meditation.  If you do it you will become it.  And stop going to christian church if you don't want to be christian anymore.

Keep reminding yourself to sit and walk strait. Practice doing it. If you were in therapy, you would have somebody nagging you. It is cheaper to practice on your own.

kielderdelaval  LOL!\n\nBut seriously, commit yourself to a higher purpose, then live your life moving constantly toward fulfilling that higher purpose.  The more you do that, the easier it gets.

Stop and take some time to meditate. Think of your past and what it is you would like to change. That should give you an insight into what you are looking for in your future and build from there. Good luck.:)

Take responsibility for yourself instead of relying on others. \nGet an alarm clock.

look into mysticism.  Meditative techniques will give you that ablility with practice.

1) well, for starters, you would need to stop communicating with people in any way, including the internet.\n\n2)IMHO, It's not healthy.  We are social animals.  Even though people can be really horrible to each other, you've got to see the opposite side.  The good side of humanity is worth the aggrevation, dear Hermit.\n\n3)Hermits often create their own world of make believe characters in order to stay "sane." So be careful!

Forget what you were, and start living a new life. And read a lot of books on any subject under the sun to keep your mind occupied. As you relax, over a period of time you'll get over the low self esteem bit.\nAll the best!\nst
