Hey,

It's not exactly a problem that you're home all the time – some people are just naturally introverted, and that's okay. But getting out of the house does have its perks Try looking around your school and community for sports or clubs that interest you. This will let you talk to kids with similar interests in a small group and a casual environment. This would get you out of the house to do fun things and hopefully introduce you to some cool people.

A good way to start conversations is just to ask people questions about themselves, like what they thought of the quiz in a class you share or just how they're doing. If you're talking to people from a club, you can ask them about something they're doing for that club. For example, if you're in band, you can ask people if they're ready for an upcoming performance or something. Beyond that, just try to be yourself and be friendly.

Hope that helped! If you ever need anything or want to talk, shoot me a message
