The point is getting out there. It’s not that you’ll suddenly be awash in new friends and acquaintances, it’s that you’ll rewire your brain to see the world and people around you with a more open, inviting mind.
The reason why I prefer to stay inside is because of past experiences with other people outside my home (and also from inside my home, come to think of it) being bad tho.
I guess what I'm getting at here is that you have no way to ensure that the experiences that anybody who actually tries to practice what you're saying will actually be positive or productive.

yeah it's a risk but it's a risk that needs to be taken in order to have meaningful relationships with people
But what if u don't tho?
if you don't socialise with and form meaningful relationships with people then you will be lonely.
it's difficult and it is a risk to put yourself out there but it also gets easier and not doing it isn't a long term plan
I suppose my point is that I honestly believe that I simply can't, and never will be able to.
you might be putting to much pressure on yourself. socialising is a skill and it improves with practice.
putting yourself out there continually makes people less uncomfortable putting themselves out there
