So, I'm 28, nearly 29 and finally got the courage to get treatment for social anxiety. I've always wanted to go traveling, I feel it might help me grow out of this awkward shy and strange personality, learn new cultures, visit ancient places, I even taught myself Chinese and Spanish and can understand both at an intermediate level. .
At the moment, I find life boring, doing the same thing every year, I live on a family farm (that doesn't really pay) and it's boring and thinking about doing this till what ever age I reach depresses me.
Am I being unrealistic thinking about this at my age?
I'm always reminded by my mom that their getting old and have to think about the farm, and how everyone my age are narried or got kids by now, who's going to look after me etc.
I've always thought of going to somewhere like Australia, where it's winter here and quieter, possibly do a working holiday, or volunteering.
I wish I did it instead of wasting another second year in college when I was 19.
I got enough in my bank to buy a range rover. But for me, that wont be fun.
I get fears like, what if something bad happens here if I go, or what if I be too quiet and appear like an idiot.
I'm unsure what to try, go on group tours, i.e to Scotland or somewhere for a few weeks? Or go on bigger group tours abroad?
And whether it's best to go solo or by tour.
