I feel like Spiderman. I have no friends left after moving to my hometown due to pandemic and no one to date also. My parents keep me as a child meddling with my personal life, interfering with who I talk to or not.

Should I try to move to office location and quit this WFH once for all. I am extremely unhappy and feel no freedom though my rent and food cost is getting saved by staying.

What should I do in this situation is anyone facing this kinda issue?

If you are a man. Do workout and build physique, it will also build confidence. Move to city and install all the dating sites. Also hit pubs every weekend.

If you are woman just stand in the busstop for 2mins. You will get 50 hookups instantly.😆

Hmm then its better to move out to the city where you have your job and then explore the city and make friends.On a personal note once you acquire the skill of staying alone in peace trust me you wont go back.Now i am mot saying that you should not make friends but once you master the art that even if you are alone you are satisfied with your life you can then achieve everything.Its my personal experience.

Well that is a tough situation and unless you cannot make friends in your vicinity its a wise descision to move to the city where your job is.Having said that you can also try to join any club in your city (Cricket club ,Gymkhana club or Rotary club) .This will help you atleast with a place where you can go every now and then and get into any sport and finally make some friends. Otherwise if you are into travelling and all then join any bike club so that you can go to bike trips and make friends.Basically you need to find a place where people gather and grab that oppertunity to male friends.For dating you have Tinder and other such apps .
As far as interference of your parents is concerned it will be there upto an extent.I am not judging them at all and all i say its a generational gap and the defination of personal space is non existant i their generation. It happens with me till date and i am married. So you have to deal with it somehow.Some of my friends deal with it by being rude and asking their parents to stop while others still answer them and let them interfere but in a limit. Since you are a bachelor hopefully its just a matter of time and post marrige they will stop and will give you your space.If none of the above options work then its best to relocate to the city where yoy have a job although your problem will still exist(Except the interference part)

Having confidence to take the next step in your career is all about the process.

Thoughts —> Beliefs —> Actions —> Outcomes —> Repeat

This virtuous cycle is a continuous feedback loop that builds on itself.

Focus on positive thoughts and let the negative ones float on by.

When thoughts become beliefs, take action.

Outcomes give you data to help adjust your approach and build confidence.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You can DIY.

A coach will get you there faster.
