Exercise: Get Closer to Yourself
This is a simple one, but can be powerful.
Plan an experience by yourself that you would normally do with someone else. For some people this could be as big as an overseas trip, for others it could be going to the movies, a baseball game, a hike, or a class. Is there a new restaurant you've been wanting to try? You don't need to wait until someone will go with you.
Take notice of how you feel doing this on your own. If it feels weird, plan more of these outings to get used to being alone and out of your comfort zone. The key to being happy with others is being happy with yourself.
