Reading this because I'm thinking about similar goals... but my main problem is feeling like I don't have enough time between my work/commitments (single, live alone, relatively few commitments compared to most people), alone time to read/think/exercise, adequate sleep, and trying to socialize- how do y'all do it- putting in effort to becoming more confident/social without spending a lot of time on it? I tend to avoid social events unless I think they'll be high-value for the time spent... and then I feel bad that my social skills aren't that great... do y'all think that putting in some time/effort to improve my social skills would have enough of a return over time to justify it? Beyond just taking care of everyday life, my main goal right now is to further defining my life purpose and how to best live it... have been reading a lot, thinking a lot, but still unsure what direction I want to be moving... do you think that improving social skills and maybe bringing up my wondering to others might help me clarify where I should be going? (or will it just confuse me more?)
