How can I love everyone around me especially if I am trying to stop being social? I am always struggling with sin. I stop for some time and slowly go back. How can I stop? What is the best way to study the Holy Bible? How can I focus only on God and nothing else?

Christ in action is the epitome of love. If this seems to be a level too high to attain, then 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 simplifies the equation into various actions which you can immediately begin practicing.

Being social can have some pros and some cons. There is no reason to be anti-social as long as your social activities edify you and your companions. If your social relations are spiritually fruitless and merely distractions, then restrain yourself from such company and entertainment.

No one is completely ever sin-free. Some sins tend to be repeated easier than others. These sins need to be addressed on an ongoing basis so that you and your confession father can get to the root of the problem.

You should try to read the Holy Bible daily so that you understand the entire message and the intentions of a particular book or letter which God is delivering to you. It is better to complete a book/letter entirely before moving on to another so that you also gain understanding of the context and the different relationships people had with God. Read as much as you can and try to set a regular time for reading the Holy Bible.

A relationship with God is most precious. Keep God on your mind all day and throughout the day. When you see goodness, think of His kindness; when you encounter hardships, think of His mercy; when you experience injustice, remember His promises. If you strive to see God in everything and in everyone, you will.
