First solo travel and completely excluded myself from society

Our take

Hey adventurers! I just landed in Hanoi and, after battling some serious jet lag, I’m feeling a bit out of my element. Today was supposed to be my epic intro to Vietnam, but I found myself making just a few short trips outside my apartment. It's been a challenge to break the ice and truly dive into this vibrant city. With friends arriving in two weeks, I’m eager to make the most of my time here.

Hi, 19m, landed in hanoi yesterday, did not do much as i was mega jet lagged and just wanted to sleep. Today was supposed to be different, acquired 8 and a half hours sleep the night prior, this was supposed to be THE introduction day to vietnam. I left the apartment 3 times, 1 to get food, 2 to get a plug for my phone cable and 3 due to the fact that i stared at myself in the mirror for 10 minutes telling myself to man up. What do i do in this situation, i have friends coming to hanoi in 2 weeks, how do i do the next 2 weeks and just not exclude myself from society as i have worked hard to be able to do this trip. Thankyou for reading

Edit: just wanna say thankyou to everyone replying to this, all of you are super helpful
