Yup. Same same. That's where my stuff is, I don't need anything or anyone else.

Well, you see, I fill my house with things I like, and people I love, so being there is enjoyable.
I suppose if your house is full of things you hate and people you dislike, then you would want to leave.
I don't know. It's just not something I stress over.
Spending time with young kids is a big draw to be home
Strangely strong reactions here to someone suggesting that going outside might be healthy. There's a reason why "touch grass" exists as a phrase.
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.
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.
Imagine having no other thoughts in your head that posting such a stupid question to Twitter monopolizes your executive functioning.
Also there are people out there. Fuck that.
Got no choice. My dad has developed dementia, and I refuse to put him in a home until he is completely mindless.
I'm scared only because my health benefits ran out two months ago. But don't worry pops, I got you.
Why go out when you just have to come back home anyway. Save the trip.
All Day?
Those are rookie numbers
IKR. I'm at home at least 30 hours per day.
What do you do in the other 6 hours??
How do people go out and do stuff ALL day?
Coffe and alcohol.
That toilet has a warm bidet and the other ones don't or are COLD
Uhhhh because that’s where I live
Being an introverted homebody has always been my personality, but now that I work from home I’m starting to feel this. I don’t have too many hobbies outside the house, but boy does it make me miserable when I’m just in my room all day.
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.
- Work from home.
- Can wear whatever I want.
- Lots of food and can cook whatever I want.
- A/C temp the way I want it.
- Comfort of my own bathroom and toilet.
- Lots of entertainment options (streaming/TV, laptop/PC, games).
- My hobby is indoors (music).
- Don't have to spend money just to hang around.

Almost made it a whole week but my stupid wife needs a ride to the craft store
Tell that stupid bitch to go find somewhere else to live
Please tell us more about this stupid wife.
I drove her to the stupid craft store, but first we stopped and had some stupid Vietnamese for lunch, and then afterwards picked up some stupid eggs at the stupid grocery store so I could make some stupid brownies later.
I'm trying to sum up the vibe here but I'm having a hard time thinking of the right word.
That's because you're stupid
The dream...
Craft store is fun! Get some stuff to decorate your "command center."

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
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
