Feeling all alone, have noone to talk to

What can I do if I'm incredibly lonely and desperate to talk to people (friends, family), but at the same time I'm afraid of talking to others and avoid it because my BDD and social anxiety makes me feel not good enough and socialising feels risky and hard?

I live with a partner but we no longer speak we're just ships in the night not saying anything to one another, and I haven't seen any of my friends/family in more than a year due to covid (they live in a different city). How can I have the courage to be social, how can I help myself to feel less lonely?

Hay. Dont worry. I know it is kinda tough. I think if you should be fired to start a conversation, since, you need it. One of the best ways is to listen to their stories

Listen to people and someone will listen to you

You may not agree with this, but maybe use some time to pamper and look after yourself until you are ready to take the plunge and talk. Spend time doing nice things for yourself and learn how valuable you are
