You still have some wounds that need healing, so don't just go full steam ahead into extroversion. Take time to heal and build an even stronger foundation. It's OK if you relapse into sorrow and maybe even some depression, because you're making a safe environment for yourself.

The Three of Swords often represents heartache, separation, and sorrow. In the context of your question about balancing alone and social time, it suggests that there might be some emotional challenges or past hurts that are influencing your current state of balance.
Considering this card, it might be beneficial to allow yourself sufficient alone time to process and heal from any emotional discomfort or turmoil. This isn’t about isolation, but rather giving yourself space to reflect and understand your feelings better. However, be cautious not to dwell excessively on these emotions during your alone time; use it also for activities that nurture and soothe you.
In terms of social interactions, choose quality over quantity. Engage in social activities that feel supportive and understanding, avoiding situations that might amplify feelings of sadness or conflict.
Striking a balance means gently reintegrating social activities that are uplifting, avoiding overcommitting, and allowing flexibility to retreat when needed for self-care. Prioritize connections and activities that bring comfort and joy, helping in the healing process, while gracefully giving yourself permission to step back when emotional tides are high.
