In many ways, I'd say yes, I tend to spend a great deal of time in my room for as, due to not doing well on the social level.However; i'm not suffering from Agoraphobia or such just not very good at being in large social scenarios that's all..

how can anyone get out of their room?

i am always in my room, and it miraculously follows me everywhere i go.

if i was not in my room, then i would not be.

room is equal to space, and i occupy the space within my body.

so i am always in my room.

All the time. My parents have given up trying to make me come out. I'm usualy working on a project of some sorts. When my parents see my project they are always impressed. In the pst they tried to make me come out for given ammounts of time. I would often lock myself in and my dad would threaten to kick the door in or have the lock removed. Countless shrinks have always told them it is not healty to let me stay in my bedroom constantaly and would force me to sit out with them but I would get super stressed if I couldn't stay in my room for hours and hours and decompress.

own bedroom ---->studio------>computer.........and intermittent jumps in the pool in summer and the whole thing over and over again day in and day out, day in day out except when it is rudely disrupted by family, like right now as i am trying to write. frigging hell.

that sounds terribly politically incorrect and selfish, but it is who I am and how I am.

Besides that it's about as boring as every other place and that is boredom is really freaking me out, yes, I do stay in my room since I have discovered that I own a room. I didn't use my room at all as a kid (besides the bed) and for some few years didn't even have one several days a week, so I mean it when I write that I discovered it.

Today I stay in my room because... where else to stay when at home, really? In the kitchen? Bathroom? Gross...

I mean, where else are you supposed to be other than in your room when you're home? It's your room. So be there.

Not so much in my room but there is a room in my house where I like to stay a lot. In fact I'll be going there in a few minutes.

A lot of the time I'm in my room standing on my toes flapping my hands while listening to music from my iPhone. It's my favorite thing to do, and I spend a LOT of time doing it.

Didn't the Beach Boys do some kind of sad song called 'In My Room"?
Somebody post a link so we can have some music to accompany this thread.

well brian wislon probaby did as he is very out there. (and TOny Attwood is also obsessed with the Beach Boys and collects their stuff,) so that choice of music is prbably quite apt here.

and of course - it is good music.

Yes I do unfortunately. Nothing else cures the anxiety like cutting myself off from society.

I go through phases. Right now, I am in a "stay in room" phase. Other times, I am in the "Only home to shower and sleep" phase.

I suppose you could say I live in my room, well for the time being. I have no means of transportation, and jobs are not a the best of walking distance. I am a bit stuck. My room has everything I need, but there are some out door things I enjoy, I just can't because I have no way to do them, everything is indefinetly postponed.
However when I used to live in the previous state I lived in, I had a job, a car, a couple of friends, and really I was never home except to sleep, if that.

The only person I live with now is my grandma, she does not really seem to mind.
