I often see people say that spending time indoors like this is “bad” or unhealthy and that you should be out making friends if you don’t have any. People say if you stay at home doing these things then by the time you go back to work Monday you will fill bad. but is that true?
Anybody feel like they just want to have a weekend or three where you get stuff done around the house and then watch movies, game, watch shows or read books?

Obviously this is not a professional opinion but for so many years I did what I thought I “should” be doing. Doing that seemed to cause much more damage than good. I had a high level of social anxiety so when there were more than just a few friends gathering together I would drink to feel alright in that environment. I really wish someone, anyone would have said that it is just fine being comfortable and happy in the environment you choose. In fact, I feel like being in a less chaotic environment shows what a healthy person you are. The less chaos around you then the more time you have with your own thoughts and feelings. That is not always easy.
I do that all the time… fuck what other people think about it. Do what works for you.
This sounds like what my wife and I hope for in a weekend.
I would guess the people telling you that you should be out being social probably feel bad themselves if they aren’t out being social. They’re trying to give you the advice that they need to hear, but it can be easy to forget that not everyone has the same needs or taste. You should have the weekend that makes you feel better, not the weekend that would have made them feel better.
