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
It was really weird to me too. Like, if you don’t like your home and being by yourself, maybe you’re not a good influence on others.
I was one of those extroverted people going absolutely nuts, and I never stopped working. However, my leadership had split us into 2 separate shifts, and so I was seeing the same 5 people every day versus a normally bustling workcenter. I joked to one of my Airmen that I wasnt sure if she was real or a figment of my imagination to keep me company.
I was literally constantly exhausted even though I wasnt allowed to do anything aside from work/home.
It did give me new insight to one of my best friends though, who is an extreme introvert. She lived with me for a brief while in our 20s, and I would get so frustrated when she would come home and immediately disappear into her room, and then Id have to fight her tooth and nail to get her to come hang on the weekends. I really was like “Why tf do you live with me if you obviously dont like me?” I always thought her “Nah Im tired” was just an excuse, and it made me feel really bad about myself.
Now? I definitely understand the difference better, and Im a lot more patient.
Thank you for your detailed insight there
Cause when you stay at home, you become comfortable with it and also keep making things better and better. You have full control over your experience so you end up optimizing it.
When you go out to say a coffee shop, that’s optimized for the owner to make the most money.
How do people go out and do stuff ALL day?
Almost made it a whole week but my stupid wife needs a ride to the craft store
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!
I’ll have you know that my lab is in the basement of my own house
Fair enough!
So when are you gonna come and hang out
Can’t! I’m grounded for running up my mom’s electric bills!
Tell that stupid bitch to go find somewhere else to live
Why go out when you just have to come back home anyway. Save the trip.
Also there are people out there. Fuck that.
That toilet has a warm bidet and the other ones don’t or are COLD
Yup. Same same. That’s where my stuff is, I don’t need anything or anyone else.
Strangely strong reactions here to someone suggesting that going outside might be healthy. There’s a reason why “touch grass” exists as a phrase.
SHUT UP YOU CANT MAKE ME
The post did not make any positive encouragement, make a case for mental health, or even make a suggestion. It came in as an accusation that anyone who chooses to live that way is abnormal. By definition it was a microaggression, so triggered people are reflex responding.
Frankly I think that if you feel called out by this post it has more to do with you than the original poster. “How do people not go crazy if they’re stuck inside too long” is not a novel sentiment.
I can agree with you about this specific post (without knowing the tone of the question, it could be earnest rather than insulting), but I’ve always found the “touch grass” saying to be condescending af.
Uhhhh because that’s where I live
I don’t know. It’s just not something I stress over.
I don’t care so much about things. I need my friends.
