Do you feel like your body won’t let you participate in life?

I’ve been trying to put words to something.
I want to be social, make friends, enjoy time with my family, and just be present. But a lot of the time it feels like my body holds me back. I end up watching instead of joining in, even when I genuinely want to.
I’m not looking for advice. I’m curious if anyone else experiences this.

If so:
What does it feel like in your body?
What do you find yourself doing instead?
How would you describe it to someone who’s never felt it?
