Are you a homebody?

[chibibunnyx]

I only go out with my bf since we live in a state we have no friends in lol! I HATE going out alone.

Glad I'm not the only one like this lol

 

[FruityLogic]

I used to be, but as I've gotten older (and depending on the time of year), I've found I want to get out more.

Simple as that sounds, it's not so easy, as the time I've chosen to start socializing again is rather off. My old friends have seemingly moved on, and have busy lives of their own. In a way (at least if I've been on Facebook long enough), I feel inadequate to what they appear to have accomplished (though when anyone asks, I just say I'm going at my own pace, and that's partially true).

Would help if I had my license like I should, and lived a bit closer to the city as well...

 

[Cailey]

I am a homebody for sure.

 

[Frozenmorningstar]

Definitely a homebody. I won't leave the house unless I have to.

 

[desieroble]

ah! I used to be a 100% homebody!! But since I've gone to university and I've met new people and made new friends, I am definitely more one to go out!! It's so strange since I used to be so shy and introverted, it's like I'm a totally new person haha! I love it though, I don't think I could go back to staying in all the time!

I suppose it would also depend on who I'm with. I have two main groups of friends at uni, when I'm with the first group who stay in more, then I stay in too? But as soon as I'm with the bigger group I'm all for going out! Strange world haha.

 

[NeonxVandal]

A bit of both. Used to be out all the time except when I was playing video games. But now mostly at home because it's too cold out and I'd rather be cozy. XD

 

[jiny]

lol yes @-@ the only times i go out are when we have family over

 

[MayorNoodl]

I'm primarily a homebody that enjoys going on midnight adventures on the weekend with friends, which includes going to Safeway.

For the most part, I am a homebody. I love to go out on day trips on a reasonable basis. I even really like to run errands with my dad to go to the store. Being stuck at home for too long at a time is not good for my mental health. Or anyone's for that matter.

With that being said, I am not a fan of vacations and just bull**** that involves being away over night. I mean, it can be fun; there are some good memories to be made, but for the most part, it is just not for me...I find it to be overrated, actually. My dad claims he is a homebody, but I don't know if I quite believe him sometimes. Thankfully, he doesn't really do this to us anymore, but when we were still living in our old town, my dad would look for an excuse to coop us up into an a hotel all because of a little rain. I freaking hated those times, let me tell you. We wouldn't even do anything fun...

I was (unfortunately) born into a family who loves vacations. My grandparents from my dad's side are retired and they take vacations all the time. There have been many times where my grandparents (my dad's parents) have dragged on vacation with them. I mean, I've had some fun, but still...

I just don't understand normal people and their constant desire for traveling, vacations, and adventure. I don't understand why people would leave the comfort of their own home and sleep with family (sometimes) in unusual places. I just want to be where I am comfortable. I want to jam out in my room without worrying about being a disturbance. I want to work on my writing while listening to awesome music. I want to spend my pass time playing my favorite video games. I want to go out back on my porch swing and stargaze/moongaze, as I do on most clear nights. I want to eat my favorite meals while watching my favorite YouTube/TV stuff. I want to sleep alone, in the comfort of my own bed...in the comfort of my own room.

I remember I was basically shamed back in August 2016 for not really liking vacations. My parents gave me excuses like "You don't go to school anymore" (I had just graduated high school). And accusations like "You isolate yourself in your room."

And the worst part is...my dad (and even my mom to some extent) have shown no shame in forcing my to be dragged halfway across the country to California or to Virginia; my dad hasn't done it, but he wants to. He should save his vacation days for sporting events with my brother. Don't even get me started on my dad discussing vacationing at California during a pandemic...

I am not saying people shouldn't take vacations; if they make you happy, then by all means! Take a vacation regularly! I just have a problem with people dragging their family members along against their will.

I mean, I love eating out, but I barely have an appetite during vacations, so it is not not as good as it is when I am just chilling at the house.

Man, I cannot wait until I am independent enough to live on my own. I will make my life as relaxing, comfortable, and convenient as possible. I will avoid this rigmarole like the bubonic plague.

 

[nightglow]

Yes.
I am perfectly happy being at home, or even alone, and just doing things I enjoy or things that just need to be done.
I also feel like a simple person that is easily entertained too. Maybe it goes hand n hand.
I don't need to leave the house constantly or have to be with others constantly.

Also I have dogs so I'd imagine that does make a difference.

 

[-Raven-]

I really want to leave home and travel and stuff but I have nowhere to go. Going out for anything except the library has such a price tag now and it sucks :/ Plus there’s nothing around me. Like zilch

 

[Envy]

I'm definitely quite a bit of a homebody. Going out exhausts me mentally. When I'm with great friends that doesn't happen as much, but otherwise I want my trips out to be short and to get back home quickly.

This was such a great trait for me to have during the pandemic. Lol.

 

[wrenbow]

Yes, I love staying at home and hate going out. I'm autistic so I'm sensitive to pretty much everything outside (light, noise, people, change in schedule etc). The exception is going out for a walk in the woods every week or so. I also like visiting my friends but that can be stressful and I haven't done that in a long time. Otherwise I love being in my own space and I never get tired of it or feel the need to go anywhere.

 

[Violet Witch]

Absolutely. I've always been a homebody but since the pandemic it's increased and I'm okay with that. I go to work and come home again and on the odd occasion I like to go on day trips. To me thats all I need in life right now, I've saved a lot of money because of it and it's allowed me to spend it on things I really love like gaming.

 

[.: Meri :.]

Veryyyy much so. I'm worse about it in the spring and summer, when the weather is too warm for my liking, all the most unpleasant bugs and insects are out in full force, and my god, the pollen. ;; I'm much more willing to touch grass as the weather cools off. It also doesn't help that most activities cost money—I mean, there's parks and libraries, but that's pretty much it around here.
I probably do need to get out in nature more often, but aside from that I'm really quite content at home. I'm comfortable and relaxed, I can engage with all my hobbies whenever and however I like, my stuff is here... just chilling out at home is pretty great imo.

 

[Beanz]

i love going out, but i never go out by myself. my version of “fun” and “going out” is going to target

 

[moonbyu]

i am, but i don't really like it a lot.
in a way, it isn't exactly my fault. my parents kept me inside for a lot of my life and never let me go anywhere on my own and i've only just started going places on my own and gaining my own independence. it's a slow process but i'm trying

 

[DaisyFan]

100% yes!

I don't have any friends, so I love staying home and enjoy my peace and hobbies, unless I leave the house and do something like seeing a movie at the theater or shopping.

 

[Kitsuragi]

I love being home but I need to leave my house to do stuff or I go stir-crazy

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I'm actually the opposite of a homebody. I really don't like being at home. if at all possible I would strongly prefer to be out and about doing something, or taking a trip somewhere. being at home makes me feel very anxious and stressed and overwhelmed.

now in my defense, I have a very troubled home life. I won't go into detail, since it's personal. but I feel like if I had a better living situation, then yeah, I might be more of a homebody (though I do still like going out and about relatively often, staying at home all the time makes me anxious because I like to keep busy).
