Is it normal to stay in the house all day during holidays and weekends ?

The only times im out is when Im studying or shopping and then after that I feel like I don't want to be seen outside so I stay home no matter how long, how many days I have the need to stay inside my room and not go outdoors. I love nature but I haven't been frequently taking part of it, that's what I need but its this feeling I cant do it because I feel like im stuck when I walk out my bedroom door I dont like the vibes I feel, the vibes my family has is pretty sad I really do not like the vibes I feel when around people. I feel much safer in my room where I could just let my feelings free and not have to pass them onto anyone else like what I have felt from others. I used to stay in the house for months and this took me about years to overcome half of this habit. Right now I have made a bit of a difference and have been going outside more than how I used to because of studying and shopping but for me it doesn't look like enough. I know alot of people will say just go outiside already, for me it takes more than pushing myself to do it for me I need alot of time to think, rest and heal its not easy, this helps me for one day only. If you are going through this right now please let me know.

    I am completly the same. My family also always pushed me to go out and my family always made jokes about me and used it against me. I felt really bad because of this, treating me very stupid “yeah, thats a bird, you do not know this because you were always at home“ and stuff like that. Everyone was making fun of me and laughed at me.
    But I also never was on vacation either, well, we actually didn't do anything and i like to keep inside too just as today living by my boyfriend who also is an introvert °-°. Well, the only things i go out if it is necessary or we both go somewhere to events. I would never go alone oof

    Do you have headphones? I like wearing headphones a lot when I'm around family, this was especially true when I was a teenager. I don't hate my family, but watching TV with people who talk constantly is very annoying to me. My folks love to watch Fox News for hours, and as a result I rarely, if ever watch the news when I'm alone.

    You are an introvert, there is nothing wrong with that.

    I'm the same and in my opinion, yeah.
    All of my friends except one currently lives at a distance which means I can only see them in person a few times a year but that fits me perfectly. When I have friends too close they wanna hang out when I don't feel like it which only causes me stress. I feel like all interaction with other people is a necessity forced by the unwritten rules of society and it doesn't benefit me more often than it disturbs me.
    I see no issue with it. Everyone is different. I personally feel that it can't be normal to enjoy going out on the weekends to voluntarly interact with people but it is, according to extroverts.
