This is my own personal experience and I'd like to preface this by saying that I hate the fact this is the case, but this was true for me. I was an introvert, or thought I was, for a long time. A homebody. But going out, and just being around other people, has legitimately improved my quality of life by an order of magnitude. It's very strange but I'm just... happier. It's like working out. You just do it, and then everything is better. I don't get anxious anymore. I like myself a lot more. I actually look forward to tomorrow, which used to never happen.
