<human>: I don't have many close friends as I've invested most of my time outside of work and school into my relationships, and I often find myself thinking of other people and what they're doing with their lives. For the first time in 7 years I am on holiday for three weeks and find myself alone during this time as my boyfriend is going away to study. I feel like I've lost the ability to think critically about what I want in my life and have lost interest in my old hobbies. I try to open myself up socially, but I don't find it too rewarding as there are so few people I feel I have much in common with though I do find what they're doing with their time (studies, career, hobbies, social activities) interesting enough to sustain the conversation. I also really enjoy meeting new people.

My psychologist says I need to take baby steps and listen to what I want to do, but every morning I find myself feeling really insecure and have a hard time getting out of bed.

How can I refocus my attention from others who used to be in my life and what they're up to, to myself? How can I build on my sense of self, develop my own critical thinking, and figure out what I want for myself? Maybe this is a petty worry, yet I feel like everyone around me has already developed these ideas and this thought makes me feel even more insecure. :x

Thanks for your time fellow redditors.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I haven't taken time for myself for a very long time. I feel disconnected from my sense of self and have a hard time thinking critically about who I am and what I want.
