"I think I'm becoming a recluse.."

I've noticed this recently. Very often I give up the excitement of going out in favour of the security I feel at the thought of staying home in my room by myself. I'm far from a social retard, I generally feel very comfortable around other people, but I just have recently been seeming to choose to stay in my own company at home rather than go out and mix with other people. It's getting stupid now, I need to deal with it before I start getting really bad and getting nervous about going out.

Any advice? Anyone ever felt similar?

Yeah, but I am a social retard.

I think It's important you do what you're comfortable with. Maybe you think "crap im not going out, thats not right?", but anything you do with your time is right if you enjoy it and are comfortable with what your doing.

I'm a pretty popular guy, I have a group of like 7 best mates and we always go out together, and then I know a lot of people from College, and my old high school, so I always have a lot of options. However, sometimes I'll skip a party to watch TV (if whats on interests me) or play Timesplitters online, because its something I want to do and it interests me more than the same old conversations.

Everyone needs to stay in sometimes, for music, internet, TV, games etc, but if you like doing that more often than others, then who cares, you're probably learning something from all the things you read/see. Sometimes when I stay in (especially in summer) I feel like im missing something and the world is passing me by, but if I have something at home thats worth doing I'll pick that every time.

However, if you are a recluse due to Obesity from being in all day I'd advise you get out of your room, before they have to cut you out.

I play football twice a week for a team, so I'm slightly fit which helps beat fatness. Muahaha

The thought of not going out is bad enough for me .

hardly spend any time in as summer get`s closer, don`t go dancin much
myself any more :( but still have plenty of fun.

It`s always worth dragging yourself outside, you realise what you`re missing when you stay in.

But if you`re happy to stay in then stay in :)

I haven't been out much since after Christmas/New Year.
Mainly as I'm at Uni Mon-Fri all day plus working 20 hours a week.

Still, I go to the union for a few pints/pool and if my mates are going down the pub I'll go.

I just can't stand going to 'tha dansin' anymore, it makes me cry plus I actually don't like a lot of the people I socialise with.

Stil, living at home is rubbish for the Uni scene but I'm going to Germany next year and I've saved up money so should have a great time.

I find that i like time on my own alot more than time with people. People often don't have anything to say that is really worth hearing. This is mostly while i am at uni but i think it's because i am in uni all the time and i live with friends i get tired of always having someone around me.

Because most of these people are in relationships when they are not with their other halves they crave attention from everyone else, i'm sure other people have noticed this as well.

I'm happiest when i am sat in my room with my computers, that will sound sad and geeky but i don't care i am a geek.

I like not having to talk for the sake of talking, if i want to talk to someone often it's because i have something useful to say to them not just to fill in time, people that talk because they have some strange need to just annouy me because i only want to hear what needs to be said.

When i am home from uni it's completely different, most of the people there have things to say to me because we don't see eachother alot or keep in constant contact making the few weeks i visit interesting.

E.G. One of my friends at home has a Farming business, now i am not in to farming at all but i like hearing how it's going and was very impressed that he made a profit in his first year.

I go out whenever people suggest it while i'm at uni but most of the day i will try to have time to myself.

And you shall be that mitherer!

Run Hedfix, run to tv headquaters. RUN!

I agree

I want TV Offal back on the air.

and a new Dennis The Pennis is sorely needed.

*Hugs Cycloon*
There there.


There aren't enough offensive tv programs any more. Not charmingly offensive anyway.


I've been thinking about small talk and stuff lately.
I normally get bored of rubbish conversations, and run out of things to say. The kind of sitting in a pub for 50 years stuff.

What do people find to talk about?

Then again, small talk can be the door to deeper conversation. Anecessary pre-interesting stuff ritual.

But there doesn't seem to be that much intersting stuff around either.

I'm trying to decide if it's my problem (not finding interesting stuff to discuss) or if everyone else is just happy to be boring and lame.

Tonight was crap.

+ made me feel really crap.

Hooray.

Yep, it was more offensive than funny but that was part of it's charm.
