Are you a homebody?

[Licorice]

Oh absolutely. When I’m not at work usually the last thing I want to do is leave my house lol

 

[tiffanistarr]

During Covid I for sure am. I've gone out to do very few things outside of picking up groceries and work. Which is cool with me because for the most part outside of Covid, i'm a bit of a homebody. I can occupy my time with fun things and hobbies at home. However, I do enjoy going on trips and vacations and seeing things. I'd say it's about half and half for me depending on my anxiety and depression at the time. If I'm not dealing with those two things then I'm highly likely to go out and do stuff and go on trips.

 

[Bulbadragon]

I am a homebody for sure! I can stay home for a week or more and not be bothered. I do like doing things like visiting friends and going out to eat, though. And travelling every now and then. So I was pretty fine with the staying home part of COVID shut downs. I was happy to get out when I could, but I didn't mind when I couldn't, either.

I think if I could work from home, I would. But I'm a teacher, and that has very limited remote work options during non-COVID times. It just makes me appreciate time I can spend at home that much more, I guess.

100%!
I won’t lie, as much as I’m desperate for normality to return I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent at home with my partner the most throughout lockdown. I love my own company and I’m really introverted so it’s been nice being in my own little bubble without the weight of worrying about having a social life on my shoulders haha. I think I’ll find it hard adapting back into society once everything opens up again - especially with regard to school because for the past year it’s all been online.

saying that, I do leave the house to go to work so at least I have a kind of escape. I do feel for people who are juggling home life/work/study in the same environment, it’s so hard to relax and switch off.

I am the definition of a home body, the pandemic hasn't really affected my social life that much. I'll go out to eat with my friends maybe once every two weeks, but that's more for the food than the people.

 

[Romaki]

I am, with my grandmotherly hobbies, but honestly just being at home is no way to live... I miss experiencing things.

 

[Firesquids]

I love being home because of all the stuff I have at home, so many toys, art supplies, and video games, also my cat and dog.
But I love camping and hiking, going to the beach and park and hanging out with friends too (it's been so long...)

 

[k e r f u f f l e]

All my life I've been a homebody. I work from home, and most of my hobbies can be done from the comforts of my kitchen table.

I do love leaving the house as long as it's my prerogative. I hate it when people try to guilt-trip me into 'loosening up'. I'll take a quiet day trip by myself or a good book any day.

Not anymore. As a kid and teen I spent an unhealthy amount of time indoors. Most of my hobbies didn’t require leaving the house and the weather where I’m from wasn’t ideal for outdoor activities. The only reasons I left the house were to visit friends, do errands, swim at the pool, or go to school. Otherwise I was almost always at home. That’s changed this year. Now I take brisk walks nearly every day. It does wonders to my mental health and it lets me explore my area. Sure the weather is rarely ideal for that sort of thing, but it’s well worth putting up with the endless rain.

 

[TurnipBell20]

I like to spend most of my time at home, but I think meeting friends or doing other activities outside is important as well. I don’t go crazy being at home for multiple weeks straight, though. I can do most of my favorite activities at home, such as guitar, video games, TV etc.

 

[.: Meri :.]

I'm mostly a homebody—these last couple years especially so of course, but in normal times too. I'm rather introverted and pretty much all of my work and hobbies can be done at home, but I do start getting antsy if I'm cooped up in the house for too long. I also tend to go out a bit more during the autumn and winter months, and stay in more during the spring and summer, because I can't stand the weather once it gets hot.

 

[VanitasFan26]

No and I wish I wasn't a homebody. I have to put up with my parents all the time and of course I don't have my own place to live. Maybe I would enjoy my life better have I gotten a new place of my own and not have to worry about my parents always putting me in a bad mood, but thats just how life is.

I feel ya. I am looking forward to moving into my own place in the future. That way, I do not have to be bothered, or worry about bothering my dad and my brother, plus I would not have to worry about anyone getting in my way or being an anyone's way. Plus, I can live by my own rules and not have to worry about doing things I do not want to do (e.g. going on long road trips).

 

[cornimer]

Yes, I probably only leave the house once a week because I work from home. However I'd really like to get out more often! My goal is to one day have places to go & people to hang out with on the weekend.

 

[mogyay]

quite impressive that not at all has zero votes lmao. as of recently i started living on my own and i try and leave the house once a day or i feel a bit lonely and claustrophobic - even if it's just a half hour walk or something. fortunately i can go into the office when i please now which is actually quite nice

 

[Mr_Persona]

not really. I'm always in the mood to go somewhere and anyways being at home feels sad n boring for me. The people i live with and the house itself. I like staying motivated for things outside of the house.

 

[Kitsuragi]

i'm teetering on the edge of no lately. i do love being at home and destressing, but my "home" consists of my tiny widdle bedroom cause my dad claims the living room. it gets claustrophobic. i enjoy a good shopping trip lately.
nothing beats coming home and curling up in bed after a long days work, but i can only take so much before i get antsy and restless.

 

[angelcat621]

I've barely left my house for the last 20 years+. Just go to my volunteer job and go grocery shopping. I live in the country and have a big place to take care of. Yardwork and housework plus taking care of my two cats. I do live in walking distance of a few relatives that I visit infrequently. One of them runs a working farm and I like hanging out with the animals. I'm not much of a people person. I have bad social anxiety, may possibly be autistic. (Never diagnosed.)

 

[QueenCobra]

Oh, for sure. Home is where I can do my hobbies, play with my pets, etc. But now that my anxiety medication increased, I'm a lot more comfortable in public. I crave at least being outside once a day.
