It's all too easy to just do everything from our homes.I've always been a bit like this. The internet has been an absolute boon.
Book an appointment online, order food, get advise about a specialist topic like intensely cool but misunderstood cars, hunt down elusive parts and spend hours chatting to a knowledgeable parts guru to get them no problem.
Try to do it in person, absolute hell.
Banter about life, cars, love and booze online doddle, go to the pub, I'm the quiet guy in a corner with a pint just saying the odd hello to people I know/recognise. Except pub quizzes, playing solo or being asked to join a team, I fly.
Book gig tickets months in advance for 3 bands I've loved for years and finally get a chance to see, come the weekend of the event, too hot and it is a suntrap amphitheatre, too wet and the field will be a swamp. End up giving the tickets away.
You only have to look at the kids . Not going out because they'd rather be gaming or on social media.
I'm similar to you. If I do actually make it to a car show . I literally walk around have a look and go home.
God knows what I'd be like if I wasn't self employed and had to work in customers houses. And I didn't have a son who I have to run about to clubs.
Little and often would be my advice
