dumb ( stupid ) : missing the sense in talk ( Sometimes get the sense when re-thought later )

I do most daily routines and has good relationship with known persons. But, the dumb feeling pulls me back ( eg: “not creating” new friends , not getting another job/getting out of comfort zone )

What do you “passively” do to overcome this ? Else , what are the active tasks you do?

    Yeah, sometimes. What do I do about it? I learned about imposter syndrome and intrusive thoughts. I spent time reflecting, on my own and in therapy. I applied techniques my therapist recommended and other things I learned reading books and online materials.

    I wasn’t diagnosed with depression, but I did look into it; feeling unable to make friends or positive changes in life is pretty classic.

        No. This isn’t a one and done journey, and the specifics that worked for me are unlikely to work for you. My answer was more a high-level framework that you can customize to your own needs.
