OnesnowyOwl, ever so wise, here's the key, SPEND TIME WITH YOURSELF. Not so much that you become lonely, maintain your social contacts, think about what you wanna do and if you wanna do it yourself, do it. Don't feel bad about that, if you want to do it with someone else and find yourself without one to accompany you, well then, that can't be helped, then do it alone, once again.
It's all about doing EVERYTHING you want to do actually, decline what you don't want to do if invited by others. You find people are very receptive to this. I take it you have the average social IQ so as to employ empathy and not have any desires to hurt or be in the worst interest of others.
Like a very smart TFPer told me before I decided to ditch my parents house, I can think with my D**k if that what it takes to change into something better.
