Some great suggestions and advice above. There are also options to have some interaction with others online or via apps. It can be difficult to make friends especially if one has been isolated for a while. Getting to know people online can be a way of easing yourself into speaking to others and testing the waters. I pray for you find like minded people that are sincere and good for you.

So sorry for your loss. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) give you and your family patience during this difficult time. Prayers for your father and family.
I wonder how accurate these BMI charts are nowadays and if they should be reviewed.
In some cultures being of a larger stature is admired and seen as a sign of affluence. Some larger women are even considered more attractive.
Have you tried using garlic paste? I don’t like using the shop bought one but you can make the paste at home too.
Maybe you could share the recipe once you’ve perfected it!
You can put the bulb/s of garlic in water for a while too and that also helps soften the cloves and they come out of their shell easily. Using a pestle to bash them is also helpful. It’s a lot heavier and you don’t risk breaking your fav mug!
