For me it's called depression and anxiety.

Also there are people out there. Fuck that.

It really took me the longest time to realise that a huge percentage of people that need to go outside as much as possible do so because they feel unhappy at home ('home' as literal dwelling I mean, they don't know what to do there, aren't happy with or can't be by themselves, don't enjoy their immediate home environment & stuff they have in it, etc).

Home is the best, if you can't stay home and be happy you need to change your home

Deliberate mental illness is how. Been struggling to get up for a decade now. Still struggling. Lol. (kill me pls)

I find that leaving the house is good for my health, mental and physical. I don't need to see other people, just going for a walk is enough. Just staying at home is, at least for me, quite unhealthy.

i would never leave if i didn't have to eat and make money to eat

I'm a home body in most cases but if I stay too long I still get stir crazy. Can only exist in cave troll mode for so long.

Having seen how so called extroverts where seemingly going insane 4 years ago, I at this point assume they don't like their own home for some reason

Even my introverted friends were getting stir crazy in 2020. By the end of that year I was the only one I knew who was still perfectly content to be snuggled under a blanket putzing around online all day... I mean working from home.

I think it's an issue with entertaining themselves. Extroverts seek entertainment through social interaction while introverts tend to be able to entertain themselves just fine.

I wouldn't mind giving your wife a ride.

Craft store is fun! Get some stuff to decorate your "command center."

Excuse me but it's my lab in my dungeon thank you very much

I always think of my area as a command center because of:

The Warlock: Why did you bring a cop to my command center?

John McClane : Command center? It's a basement!
