One thing I used to really love about my life was that I always had an abundance of friends to hang out with and do stuff with. But I've been hiding out a lot because of certain insecurities and this has really caused me to cut down on the people that I meet, and it has gotten mixed results on my end. (On the one hand, you get the feeling that there are friends that you really have outgrown, on the other, you sometimes get overwhelmed with loneliness).
