Why were you afraid to leave your room? No worries if you don't want to share, just curious.
Social anxiety/phobia, at least that's what I went through.
Also, mint-flavoured Huel instead of Soylent.
I hear you. That must have been a rough time. I hope you've found some useful coping mechanisms ๐
I was super stressed out from grad school and living with roommates at the time. I didn't realize I would have an issue living with other people, as I had never done it before. I suppose you could call it extreme social anxiety or something. I was afraid of running into them or them seeing me or seeing what I eat even though they were all nice. I was just weird. After I graduated, I was able to get my own place so I didn't have that problem anymore.
