I don't wanna go out

Does anyone else ever struggle with just going out and doing the adulting? I know there are things that I have to get done an appointments that have to be kept, and work that I have to do, but I just don't want to do any of it. I would much rather sit and text on my phone or better yet go meet up with someone. But unfortunately life calls and we have to go out and do the things and make the world go round. I'm just wondering if anyone else struggles like that
 
Always. Sometimes I have to force myself out of the house, but the feeling is always there even when it's easy for me to leave the house. I'd sometimes rather just either stay in bed or on the PC watching Youtube than going out and about.

Exactly. Let me have my tt and my books and not people.
 
Indeed, you are not alone, I'm a big homebody...I mean just last night I ordered food to be delivered so I didn't have to go anywhere buuuutttt the delivery service mixed up my order with another so I ended up driving there anyway. It felt like inconvenience but getting 2 meals for 1 is a blessing in disguise

I woulda been mad as heck. Lolz. I don't order often. I cook mostly
 
It's super easy to fall into our worlds and stay there. Everything that isn't important is like another inconvenience to me. The routine of working, coming home, chores, and repeat are starting to push me into a mild depression though.

Haha I mean I was initially but if you think about it, you're getting a free meal paid for by the restaurant since they messed up, just a small inconvenience to actually go and pick up your original order. I even got them to give me free desert since they didn't reimburse the delivery fee

Adulting for me is hard when my headphones are dead.
 
Honestly, yeah. I keep kind of giving up and losing grip of my dreams because they seem so far away.

I want to be around horses and be able to be closer to them but I feel like I need too much money and freedom for that when I don't really have either.

If anyone can relate or wants to chat anyway, DMs are welcomed
 
I've always been a homebody, but since the pandemic started, it's gotten more intense. Plus, going out typically means I'll be spending money, and I'm at a point in my life where I've got most of what I want to do or what I like to do at home. Plus my mental bandwidth for dealing with new people or new situations seems to be at an all-time low as well. Nothing wrong with staying in and enjoying your time how you want to enjoy it, but I can understand it's frustrating if you have a wish to be out and having fun.

One of the big things that has helped us open up into going out and trying new things is just finding and forming local friendships with like-minded people (not necessarily related to zoo). They've actually inspired me to go out and try new things that I wouldn't have normally tried without their friendship. And yes, sometimes I have to *force* myself to go out - begrudgingly - but at the end of it I find myself admitting that I had a good time. But that's usually followed-up with me becoming a hermit for a few days afterwards to recharge.

That is a general description of an introvert who is trying to be a responsible adult. It is definitely part of life for many many people.
I don't want to go to work and appointments and meetings and deal with people drama and do adult things. I would a lot of times much rather stay in. But if money was no object I would probably wander around and see places. Mostly nature places but I would probably do that at least for some time.
 
Um yup! I prefer to just do my thing and get frustrated when Life calls. I am most comfortable at home putzing around on the webs or being outdoors in nature when the weather is nice. I always prefer to do things on my own terms in my own sweet time. So I get ya. I do like to meet up and do things with friends and family though or just hanging out with special folks. Adulting for the most part is a pain the ass and sucks hard.

I'm wondering if your personality is as awesome and beautiful as this fine piece of artwork? It take truly talented and skillful hands and eyes to render such things. Do you larp?
 
I can go out when I have to, for work, for groceries, for the horses, for anything. However, I rarely socialize with friends in the pub or wherever. Maybe it's because I'm introverted, maybe it's because I don't want the mask to slip and then have them find out I'm a zoosexual, maybe it's because of my difficulty to follow conversations when there's a lot of ambient noise, I don't know.

So most evenings I just stay in. Pay the rent on time, pay my bills, be a responsible citizen and keep below the parapet.

use to be a member of the SCA not larping per se. and thank you for the compliment. im a blacksmith by trade and thus my profile name
 
I think the whole covid pandemic has changed this for 80% of people. We all just got comfortable being at home. But that has to do with all aspects of life, adulting, socializing, drinking etc etc... And of course, global inflation is a massive factor in this too.
 
Worked and saved for the last 20 years. Always Everything is paid off and recently got engaged to a wealthy lover. Not needing to work myself to death anymore is the strangest feeling. I had a couple part time jobs just to get out the house.

But sometimes I just feel worthless. No one is dependent on me anymore. I gotta force myself to be social. I guess it's just the next chapter in my life. I don't fit into this new social circle at all.

All the free time In the world and no idea how to spend it.

It's 4 degrees outside so I have an excuse to do nothing for the next 3 days. But what then? Friends ? They all still work 70 hours a week.

Idk I need some balance.
