They call it a comfort zone because it’s comfortable. Being comfortable is nice. Some of us don’t want to do something that scares us every day, because being scared isn’t nice. I like being comfortable in the comfort zone for as much of my time as possible.

Okay good for you
You can do pretty much whatever you want. There is very little you HAVE to do. Just be prepared for the consequences of it, like stagnation. I hate the idea of not growing, but that’s only me. There are many ways to live your life.
If you have no desire to change or challenge yourself to improve your life then sure, it’s okay.
The idea behind getting out of your comfort zone is growth, which encourages discovering new things you might enjoy and would have otherwise never known.
Change is good. Growth is good.
Challenge yourself.
I agree that there is a fixation, particularly among extroverts to try to drag people out of their comfort zone. And it’s annoying.
Though
Sometimes (often) people aren’t happy or content in their comfort zone either. They long for many things that they are to scared to try. Human nature is fear of the unknown.
But just because something is unknown and therefore scary does not make it dangerous.
Getting out of our comfort zone greatly enhance our lives by introducing us to new experiences, people and skills, gives a sense of accomplishment and vigour.
But if all you want is to be is in your comfort zone without dreams of anything else, then power to you.
It just means “Try new things”
Going out your comfort zone gets you used to more situations and expand your comfort zone. regardless of your actions in life, you will be taken out your comfort zone and it’s better to do so with your own choosing than in an urgent situation.
Plus, you might find more comfortable places. Foods, music, experience etc etc etc. So many great fun things you don’t know you like until you leave your comfort zone
Nah, that’s how people turn into burnouts. They’re obviously comfortable smoking up all day and ‘jus chillin’.
Your body need stress, also called exercise, to functional well. Drifting into the couch is a downward spiral.
While definitely unpopular, I do think this would be better for r/widdlebabieswhoneedtheywemamasopinion
I guess you’re right but personally I do find it pathetic
agreed. you can also expand your comfort zone ahead of time for something anticipated, like, a job, or some such.
Yeah if u are lazy it is…
I agree to the extent that you shouldn’t HAVE to be put out of your comfort zone, because of other people.
Example of this, is at my last job, in no way shape or form was doing presentations in my job description. It was not my job. And yet, my directors to “take us out of our comfort zone”, decided to make us do presentation, pretty much for their own enjoyment. I told them it is not my job, to take myself out of my comfort zone to do presentations. I dont need to, for the sake of this job, do that.
I think to grow as a person, you should take yourself out of your comfort zone. It’s good to be challenged, learn new things and skills.
But then I dont see anything wrong with spending your entire life comfortable. We have one life, you live it doing what makes you happy the most.
As long as you can support yourself staying in that comfort zone, enjoy a completely stifled life – go for it.
But if not now, then when is what I ask…
