That’s a tough one, but I’ll try to help!
Maybe FaceTiming or Skyping with your friends? I Skype with my best friend a lot, and it really helps us not be lonely during the pandemic!
I would say try to talk to them about it, but I know how tough that can be with a subject like this, so maybe write them a note? For me at least not having to say it out loud ups my confidence tremendously!
I really hope this helps, even a little!
