I'm a shut in I have lived across the street (literally)

There's no easy way to do this. I used to be socially awkward and preferred to stay inside all day long to play video games. It took me many years of trying but now I have a super active social life.

You just gotta do it and not give a shit when you make mistakes. It's going to take much time, perhaps years, for you to adjust. But have faith that better days are ahead and remember that people don't really pay much attention to other people as much as you'd think.

The thing is I'd have to cross a street, I think it has those stop lights with little cross walk buttons
I have no idea how to do that
I feel like I'll just get hit by a car or do something "wrong" and embarrass myself
What if I see someone I use to know ? Or high schoolers laugh at this older weirdo who acts like a scared little boy? Or a thug tries to mess with me?

I'm not even sure what I'd do there.
I forgot what I was going to say .
I feel like my memory , health, even my voice has deteriorated so much compared to years ago.
I'm still skinny at least but doing anything too physical puts me at a very real risk of just fainting
My memory is just terrible now.

Really nobody's going to give a shit if you try to figure out how to use cross walk buttons. They'll prob just think you're a tourist or something. You have all these fears of going outside but it WILL get better once you start going outside more often. You must have faith that this is so. You will probably relapse a few times when your fears are actualized, but know that it's all going to help you in the end.

Your health is deteriorating because people are designed to live actively.

how do you get food if you don't go outside?

jesus christ, I understand talking to women being a problem, but going outside?

what are you afraid of.
you gotta have some self respect/confidence left in you.
you cannot tell me that your opinion of yourself is so low that you dont trust yourself to do this simple task.

anyway, the only way to do it, is practice.

It's called Window Shopping, and it's an ancient and honorable tradition among those with no cash or just time to kill. You walk past the shops and just look in, at the window displays or anything else. No one considers it weird.
