I’ m 27 and still live at home. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s been almost 5 years and really want to branch out and move out on my own and live somewhere new. I struggle with social anxiety and work at a job that doesn’t pay too much to save enough to move out, so I’ve felt stuck for a long time. I don’t do anything for fun outside of work and old friends have moved away. I go to church but it’s hard for me to meet people, and even getting involved in small groups has been difficult. The church I go to is really nice but I just want to visit a new church, but I know my mother will get offended saying ‘there’s so much you can do at this church, why go to another one,’ etc. Im a female and also want to meet friends( females) off of a social app, as it’s easier than in person, but it would be hard to explain to my mom, she would say ‘why don’t you meet people at church, why online’ etc. as she’s old fashioned and doesn’t understand it’s how people meet nowadays and there’s nothing wrong with it. basically, how can I just feel like an adult and do what I want to do (that isn’t bad) and articulate with confidence that I’m able to make my own decisions and live my life that I can be happy with?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Give yourself space to branch out, drive yourself places, and have a wee little but of fun. You are living at home, but are still an adult. It's ok for you to seek out new stuff.

Have you ever considered going on a mission trip?
Take a look at Youth With a Mission and maybe you'll find something of interest there.

Have you ever heard of hikikomori? They say it is becoming a growing problem in Japan, with at least a million people who live like this. Likely, you're struggle isn't the case, I just thought that would be interesting to bring up.
I will pray for you, and if you are interested in just talking to someone you can PM me.
