Ah, imposter syndrome. I can definitely relate to that.
To be fair, one of my kids had adhd and bounced off the wall all day as a child (and thankfully outgrew it as an adult), and one young adult with anxiety issues that has never abated, and my husband has no social life other than Facebook even before covid. Even as a grade school and high school student I never really made lots of friends, so all of us may have some sort of anti social wiring. My grandmother in her old age would never leave her house, lol. I don't think I'll ever be that bad - at least I hope not!
As for distance, I've found when you or they move away, it's not much better than trying to have a long distance love interest. It doesn't really work great. I empathize with you on that, too.
