Anyone literally never leave the house?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm like that this year. For me it generally goes in cycles like that. I rarely leave the house except for work and uni. I plan on going out more next year, I swear >.> I'm getting pretty bored at this rate

The majority of my time is spent at home, in front of the computer. There's a park that's literally right outside my back door, and I go there everyday for exercise. But other than that, I only leave to go run errands with my parents. I live with them and my younger brother.

I locked myself in my bedroom for over a year once and litteraly only came out to use the bathroom. My parents thought it would just make things worse to make me come out so they left me alone which probably was a good thing.

I stay most of the time at home because I´m depressed and can´t go out unaccompanied. . I used to go out. Now I only go out twice a week with the occupational therapist for about 2 hours. I plan to start individual therapy sometime soon then I will leave home 4 times a week.

Now that I have been laid off I am away from the house for about an hour at a time to go walk to the store about three times a week. Every other Saturday I go to play Dungeons and Dragons from 6:00pm to 11:00pm I really do not want go anymore but I go because I feel I'll revert back to complete hermit who will not even go the store. I stay indoors so much I have a vitamin D defiency. I'll be staying home but promis I will start coming out more when people stop sucking so much.

I get out every now and then, but it's usually just to do my own thing. If people start interacting with me, I begin getting stressed out, and will reduce the frequency I go someplace.

The only three places I'm comfortable at are the library, church, and grocery store. Everywhere else, I can handle for 30 minutes to an hour, but after that, if I'm not out of there, I'll panic.

I would love to be a hermit though. It would make everything so much easier.

It depends how ill I am. When I'm depressed I go really down, and don't leave the house. I get shopping online, and don't go out for days on end. I think my most recent bad bout was eight or nine days. But normally I go to church once a week, music three times a week, and potter around on the allotment.

Right now I'm on medication, and getting out of the house more. If I didn't have a child I'd never get out of the house when I'm down. I make an effort for him to seem normal when he's home.

I don't never leave, but I'm pretty reclusive. I have a couple chronic illnesses and I have chronic fatigue (not the syndrome, just fatigue) so I need a lot of rest. There are things I would like to do outside of the house but I don't have the energy. I used to leave the house fairly frequently when I had a relationship, a couple friends, and some acquaintances.

I haven't gone out much in the last year because I haven't been working. Going out for me usually involves spending money. So I try to stay at home and keep my expenses low.

I spend most of my time in the house. 99% of the time, I only leave to go grocery shopping & to go to appointments.

I think it's an introvert thing instead of autistic thing. I have an AS son who just loves going out to stores, parks and have fun. He's not an introverted person at all.

I go out about twice a day, though usually for exercise, fresh air and fun, not for social purposes. I also like shopping, though I try to go late in the day to avoid the crowd. I go to the gym once a week and like parks and beaches and hiking. I think the longest time I stayed in the house was about a week, when I got flu one time.

Going out isn't equal to meeting people or socializing anyway.

I rarely stay in the house all day. I just dont wanna be staring at a laptop/TV all day.

I go out for necessary things since I work and am self-sufficient. I will also go out on occasion for my own enjoyment, usually to a park at an early time to avoid being distracted by other people. My anxieties are greatly mitigated if I´m with another person I noticed. The level of anxiety is also something that tends to fluctuate on it´s own, I haven´t figured out why just yet.

If I ever met someone like-minded I would probably go out with that person a lot, that would probably do a lot to lift my depression. I can´t be with normal people though - there´s no resonance and can actually increase my depression.

Hello. Nice to meet you. My name is Kim.

I don't like to leave the house. If I didn't have to go get groceries twice a month, I would never leave. I wasn't always like this but I didn't like it when I had to be out in the workplace and around people. People drain me terribly and their energy exhausts me. I can't stand to go to Wal-Mart. I'd rather pay higher prices somewhere else than to go in there. The only way I can explain it is that it seems like Mexican jumping beans or corn being popped. It's just all over the place and it drives me insane.

I don't like bright lights, I like it darker. Not completely dark but I like overcast days much better. I don't like loud noises. Someone is mowing right now and I wish they would stop. It sounds like they are mowing right against my window even though it is at another house, not mine.

I'm very good at being a mimic. I can 'act' like I am normal and it was a lot easier when I was younger because my parents said I was the 'pretty' girl and they grew me up to be pretty. Pretty = dumb. That's easy to pretend. I was good in school because I could memorize things. I wasn't good at Algebra, though. I much preferred journalism or something like that. It's easier to get away with being different and hiding it when you're pretty because that's all people tend to notice during younger years. But the older I get, the less I want to continue to 'act' or 'mimic' so I stay home where I can be myself. I'm 44 now and if I never wear make-up again it won't be soon enough. I hate it. It's so stupid. I've stayed home, for the most part, for the past five years.

I don't know what is wrong with me or what is right with me. I have thought all of these years that I'm different. Weird. I can't fit in. I can pretend to fit in, depending on the circumstances but inside I don't feel like I do. I feel like everyone else around me is normal and I'm not.

The mowing stopped. Much better.

I like to have deep discussions about supernatural things and paranormal things. I like to have what I consider to be deep thoughts and discussions. Most people don't like to talk about those things. They like regular chatter and that bores me.

I signed on here because I noticed a lot of you stay home and I do, too. I wonder if there is ANYONE out there who understands me. If I knew there was something medically wrong with me or if I was off somehow, well, we could fix that or maybe not fix it but at least I might be able to understand it more.

Right now I'm still a fish out of water.

Thank you for letting me talk.

I was a hermit for several years. I had social anxiety, among other things. Now I get out a bit more, usually once a day, for at least a little while. May all you shut ins find happiness, either indoors or out.
