I'm a pretty social person. In the sens I feel comfortable with people and with large groups.
However something frets me a bit. I don't like going out. Oftentime when I go out I'm just thinking how much I'd like to be home where I do everything I want to and daydream as much as I want.
And this is pretty confusing because this is not by spending your days home you live life right ? You end up getting stuck in a rut maybe ?
And I've been trying to force myself to stay a bit longer each time. But I generally end up feeling burned out even more. And just like I don't fit in and that it's just not for me. From the outside nobody sees that of course but this can be pretty draining.

Do you think I should try even harder and that there is some kind of breaking point I'm gonna pass ? Or should I do how I feel and stop trying so hard ?

English is not my first langage btw sry if there are some mistakes

You sound pretty hard on yourself. Try to relax about it, the issue isn't a huge one. And your timing isn't good for expanding your social life anyway, because of the pandemic. Have patience. No one "fits in" everywhere, so try to accept yourself as you are, and become more confortable with yourself. Sooner or later, you will find more , others who are more like yourself, and you'll be fine, I think. Good wishes, Dr. Stephanie

You're right I should relax maybe I'm a bit too much in my head and it can be hard to take a step back sometimes. Thank you for your time
