I want to get myself back out in the real world, but I've become so socially inept the idea itself terrifies me. I'm trying to work on my conversation skills at home, and in doing so I've realized something awful about my mother (who also rarely leaves the house).

>her stories rarely include anyone else, it's always focused on something great she was doing and how she felt about it

>can't get a word in, talks over me

>it's not just conversations, day-to-day life revolves around my mom
>walking on eggshells trying to not inadvertently offend her

This isn't the mom I grew up with. I want to help her, honest to god. But I don't know where to start. Furthermore, I also want to help myself and I know this has become a toxic environment. I'm an introvert, but I can never be alone. I take hour long showers just to have some peace and quiet, but end up feeling guilty because of how much fucking water I'm wasting.
What do, /adv/.
