California extroverted autistic, should I solo trip to Florida?
Hi everyone! I am 21F. I live with my sister and mom. We are pretty poor/low income but have been wanting to travel. I want to go to universal and disneyworld In Orlando. Neither of them really want to go because they would rather pay for a trip to Costa Rica. I want to go to Florida first before I take any big trips out of the country. They said they’d go to Florida with me but I would have to save the money to take everyone. I’ve never done anything by myself before but I am debating on whether I should go by myself, as I have heard solo trips are healthy for the mind anyways.
I am very extroverted so I like to be around my family and I don’t like to do things on my own AT ALL. Like I can’t even walk to the downtown area of my neighborhood by myself (it’s a five minute walk). Really the only time I walk or travel by myself is when I have had to go to work, school, or an appointment of some sorts that is important. I am also autistic, so I’m scared to be alone in most situations anyways because of my social and living skills. I also struggle with heavy depression and have been for a few years. So basically everything is against me being able to do things on my own. I’ve never even been to an amusement park on my own and even if I have the opportunity to go on a ride alone, I never take it because I can’t enjoy myself without company for some reason.
I just want to know if anyone has been in a similar situation mentally, and still did a solo trip? What was it like? Do you think if I just force myself then maybe I’ll learn to enjoy it? I’m not sure what to do!
Does anyone know how to combat that lack of enjoyment from being alone? Like how I only enjoy things with others, is there a way to learn otherwise?
Second question: how much would this solo trip to Orlando most likely cost? Including Disneyworld- all parks(is the most fun ones) and universal- all parks?
