I only go out when I have to. The longer I stay out the warier I become, like this dull, constant yearning for solitude. Another thing, it's the same with people, in the middle of conversation I just want to storm off or even yell at them if what they're talking about is stupid and be alone. Maybe because I feel like I can't be myself or feel unsafe outside of my home? And the thing is, I have no desire to fix this. Can anyone offer any insight?
You hate society. It's fun to hang out with people that talk about something other than sight,smell,touch,taste,sound (I.e. Have you ever tried ____ at ____? It's sooooo gooooood......) but they are hard to find. Everyone walks around brainless and has their priorities mixed up, that's what makes me yearn for solitude.
^ what s/he said.
Me, I avoid people in this town because:
1. It's a small town. They gossip too much and I'm not a fan of knowing whose daughter was seen drunk two nights ago, or whose uncle owns what type of car.
2. If you don't think the stereotyped opinion, they label you. Ranging from "weird" to "freak", oh so many names! How nice.
3. Not enough conversation stimulation. I don't get excited to be engaged in talks with them.
My solution: Move. Out. I'm not going to let a small town lock me inside a small circle and stop myself from meeting potential close friends.
I moved from a small town like that into a city. Yes, gossip is pretty much eliminated but you have to deal with more crime and idiots staring at their cell phones walking in front of moving vehicles.
There are alot more people to sift through for potential friendships, but ALOT more mindless zombies as well. And traffic. Got to take the good with the bad I suppose.
I am the same way!! I totally isolate myself and if I do have to go out (grocery shopping, takin the kids somewhere, dr's) I hate it and the longer I'm out of the house the more uneasy I become!! I think to a certain extent everyone is like that but it sounds like its a little extreme for you..
Do you get scared about going out? Or anxious about it? Because I know I avoid going out as much as possible and I hate being in conversation with people, it makes me feel awkward and stupid.
But I have social anxiety. Maybe you should ask your doc or look it up and see if it might be similar to what you feel.
