Hi and welcome to Psychology!
Here and now skills can be extremely useful. To learn techniques to handle distress. To learn to recognize your triggers and compensate for them. To understand how your expectations and world view effect your perception of and response to the world. What could be more helpful?
I have always said my goal in life was to become a suburban hermit - the weird dog lady. And with today's ability to shop off the internet, I would be just as happy to never leave the house. I avoid phone calls, even. The world is overwhelming and my nest feels so safe. Yet oddly enough, once I am out, I sometimes dread going back home to the restricted thought of my insular life.
