I've been a hermit too because my social life was mostly thorugh the family time we spent together (and met other people). Now I feel pressured to go out and make new friends and socialize. I have to then tell myself that I don't have to do anything I don't want to. I'll do what I want to do and when I want to do it.

Honestly though in my case I do need to expand my social network.
