QUESTION:
I have a hard time connecting with others and opening up any kind of relationship with another. I really want to change this, but my problem is that I’m shy and also sensitive. Because of this, I have self-isolated myself in my house for several years already. I have tried several times to change my lifestyle but I wasn’t successful. I also have a lot of trauma. I want to know how I can change. I also want to know: Why did my neshamah choose to have such a difficulty like this?
ANSWER:
Try to find an opening in yourself by which you can connect a bit with others, and gradually, increase that part of yourself that can connect with others. In addition, make a list of all your potential qualities which you haven’t yet actualized, and read the list every so often. Make sure to use your good points more often. After you have done that, now make a list of which aspects are holding you back from utilizing your potential, and then deal with each issue separately.
Your neshamah chose this difficulty because it is a tikkun for something in a previous lifetime, in which you didn’t have a deep connection with Hashem and instead you substituted it with people.
That is why, on one hand, you should work on becoming more connected to others, but along with this you should also form a simple but deep and true connection with Hashem.
