For the anxiety, there might be local baby groups that deal with that. It may be worth checking with a lactation specialist to see if they know of the resources.
As for the kiddo, right now they are in what I call hungry potato mode. Eventually they will start to smile at things and then mobilize. Once they start smiling, then you can start feeling out their personality, which will change shortly after you figure them out. Once mobile, more time with more babies to socialize is good.
Edit on the baby groups: it’s also a good place to talk to other moms in similar but different boats.
