Does anyone else like to stay at home instead of going out?

Question

I'm going out tonight with my friends. I went to the theatre yesterday but it doesn't thrill me much. I do it only because for some reason it is considered healthy to do it. What do you think?

Answer 1

Hi. I'm the same. A lot of people seem worried because they think I'm "anti-social". Not true. Just because one likes to spend time alone, and away from having to please others... etc it doesn't mean that you are anti social. That's just crazy! Sometimes people say that I have a personality problem, that I'm too egoistic and love myself too much, more than I care for being with others, and even though this may be slightly true, its doesn’t' necessarily mean something bad! Just like there are really outgoing people there are people who like to be alone. I for one enjoy time much more spent reading a book or watching a movie, or doing something alone. Not all the time though! So Yes, I like to stay at home and it’s normal. I just feel not that comfortable with people. I mean I try but can never fully be myself with others. I’m also uncomfortable with crowds and just being in public in general.

Answer 2

I love being home... Its a thrill to go out grocery shopping on Friday nights but the rest of the week I/we stay home.

We invite family/friends over to play cards or just visit on Sat. nights. I love saving the money that others spend on gambling, partying, drinking, and then DWI's... Putting away an extra $500 a month due to not partying makes my future look even brighter !

Answer 3

I rather stay home and I stay home a lot. Guess that's why i have no friends. I've basically stayed in for the past 7 years. I have no friends and live in my own little world Unhealthy to an extreme yep. That's one reason I come on here it helps me feel connected in a weird way.

Answer 4

I frequently prefer to stay in. I work at home, so most days dont put on make up or get properly dressed!
Also, you get to an age where it feels boring to go out clubbing or sitting in a pub. I often feel guilty about it as i am only 23 but if you force yourself to go out it'll only make you feel worse. I think its better to stay at home, save some money and then it really is fun and exciting when you do go out!

Answer 5

Staying in and spending some quality time on your own can sometimes be all that you need, why go out if your not going to enjoy it. But sometimes it is important to get out of the house, looking at the same four walls is not very healthy and could cause you to become anti-social in time.

Answer 6

I prefer staying in. If you want to socialise invite friends over. It's cheaper and you'll get better conversation. A night out is a treat for me, so when it does happen it's always fun. Going out all the time can get unsatisfying.

I don't mind staying in home alone though.

Answer 7

I like nothing better than staying at home cooking and talking to my friends on the comp, watching my fave programs on TV and having friends around.
I do go out but that's my choice and not because i feel i need to, Ive always been a homely person and would not have it any other way !!.

Answer 8

I would much rather stay in with friends then go out. Now-a-days you never know what kind of people are hanging around. Going out every once in a while is fun but not as a rule.

Answer 9

Maggie your not the only one in this boat, I too am a home pigeon my family are always saying go out the fresh air dose you good . I do like going out but only if it´s really some thing I like to see, I like to go around the shop´s , but always come home with something that I really don´t need . I suppose it´s just a habit of not going out that keep´s me in. But in the summer time I do go to the beach as I find it very relaxing , but always glad when I get home again

Answer 10

I mostly stay home, I am trying to save money and I have kids anyway so I like to be home with them too. I like it this way because when we do get a baby sitter it makes the night out better because we don't do it that often.
