I’ve been languishing in my comfort zone. Continuing to do so will have terrible effects for me. To quote Marx, I “[have] become a monster, a huge mass of flesh and fat, and [am] barely capable of walking any more.” Ever since the pandemic started I’ve become a terminally online antisocial weirdo who barely ever leaves my room, let alone the house.

Of course, in addition to the damage this does to my personal life, it also makes me non - potentially even counter - revolutionary. As someone who wants to be a communist instead of just some internet poisoned middle class dilettante, I don’t know how I can be expected to jeopardize the comfort of my parasitic labor aristocratic class position when I can’t even get out of my comfort zone enough to go outside, eat real food, and do even the barest minimum of light exercise.

    Like others said, try starting small. Meet up with a friend at a public place. If that’s not an option, you can join a gym, maybe ask someone to spot for you for exercises that you need help with. And if someone looks experienced, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Most people are more than happy to help you out, after all, it’s sort of a compliment in a way. I also suggest going for walks or getting lunch or a drink from a place you like. Over time you can build a rapport with the employees or other customers. Other than that, applying for different jobs is a great way to switch things up in life and meet new people. TL;DR do things that interest you that you never did before or rarely do. Check out what you like. You’re (I assume) young and have plenty of time to see what interests you and what would motivate you to go out more. And take your time, there is no official timeline for any of this
