So…I decided to take a big leap and apply to go back to school and I signed up for college. I’m so nervous and anxious about it…I haven’t been to school in 10 years, and I have insane anxiety in crowds…any advice?

There are always online class opinions; some people are often better at doing things by themselves, and that's perfectly ok, but if you want to get out of your comfort zone, sometimes you just have to be uncomfortable in order to get any results.

Learn a trade. Don’t waste time on a college degree. AI can’t do electrical work, plumbing or construction.

That’s my biggest thing is I want to be able to get out of the house because I’m home all the time and chronically online…I don’t have friends irl, but I want them 😭 I struggle with it because unless I have a reason to go somewhere I just don’t….

Well, from my experience with college, everyone is mostly focused on themselves or their own homework, so there isn't any need to be nervous, since in most cases, the only time you would need to converse with others is during group projects. Also, if it helps, try going to a low-anxiety level place like a quiet library to bring up your tolerance; sometimes they even have groups to join.
