Home is cozy. Not home always requires interacting with other people and/or driving in horrible traffic. In the end I’m always thinking about how long it will be before I can get back home again.
Because I already socially committed to the idea of staying home in my sweatpants two days ago, and honestly, that plan sounds way better than pretending to have fun for three hours.
Itās too people-y out there. I work at home engaging with people all day via camera and meetings. I need decompression time and would rather be with my cats where I am comfy and happy!
Love all my friends who live in the city or want to go out there, but I’m not going to take a $50+ Uber or drive around for an hour trying to find a space on the street.
Chronic fatigue syndrome. I usually can’t do it and if I do it I crash afterwards and it affects me for weeks or months. Also mental illness and autism.
I hate being around people that ask āso what have you been up to?ā And I literally donāt have anything to say to them and thatās embarrassing as hell so I just skip the possible interaction altogether. Also procrastination. Iāll tell myself āafter this video/episode, or Iāll go in one more hourā pretty soon itās 2 am and I know Iām not going anywhere. Plus I can be so anti social when I go out and everyoneās on there phones and stuff in like ā I coulda just stayed home if we were just gunna all scroll on our phonesā
I told my wife that up to this point in my life, this house is the most expensive thing I have ever bought. So why wouldnāt I want to spend all my time in it
My mental health is more important. I’m tired and need to have the energy to go to work tomorrow and not be a total b*tch to everyone there, so I’m not going to the thing.
At the end of the week I am whipped. Especially if I have traveled late in the week. Last week I left Monday afternoon and did not get home until early Friday morning-1am. Those kind of weeks, yeah, just let me sit at home all weekend, play in the garden, watch some tv, read a book and the paper, go to Mass, and maybe grill some burgers or steak on Sunday. It makes me happy
“I’m tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of never having me a buddy to be with to tell me where we’s going to, coming from, or why.
Mostly, I’m tired of people being ugly to each other. I’m tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world… every day. There’s too much of it. It’s like pieces of glass in my head…all the time. Can you understand?”
I don’t drive, there isn’t a bus line in my area, and uber is expensive, so unless a friend is also going and I can cach a ride, my ass is staying put. good thing I can get a lot of my necessities delivered.
I’ve always been kind of a black sheep of social gatherings. It’s always made me anxious so I just don’t bother interacting with most people. Also I just don’t understand how some people don’t comprehend simple concepts.
Love my own company. Groceries: delivered
Laundry: picked up
And, frankly, Iām tired of being the only non-drinker in social situations. When I drank, I loved chitchat. When I had to quit (for a health issue,) I realized how boring people are. They have nothing interesting to say without booze.
Because I donāt want to put any effort into my appearance, point blank period lol! It takes a special occasion (or work) to get me into something other than sweats/leggings, a hoodie, and slippers lol!

Guaranteed to be happier at home.
My house is where my (in no particular order)
…are
Why all those other people got to be there too?
People, are outside. I don’t much care for people.
he fridge knows my name. The couch knows my soul. Why would I betray them like that?” ššļø
I just don’t feel like it.
I’ve stopped making up reasons as I get older, people can take that however they wish.
Because you feel like it
Money.
Don’t have it.
Can’t get it.
Why bother.
my cats would be lonely

Depression
Because I already socially committed to the idea of staying home in my sweatpants two days ago, and honestly, that plan sounds way better than pretending to have fun for three hours.
Cost vs benefit imcluding time
Is the experience worth the money or getting home late or not doing something else
because I donāt want to is my favorite reason.
Things are always too peopley now
Peace
Pants ain’t fitting
I am enjoying my mortgage payment
I hate everything. Especially the thing.
Itās too people-y out there. I work at home engaging with people all day via camera and meetings. I need decompression time and would rather be with my cats where I am comfy and happy!
To read and cuddle with my cat. Iām happiest in my home library.
Save money lol
The thing is dumb and I have better things to be doing at home.Ā
Physics. An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
Time. I have so much stuff to do – I have no time to be going to ‘the thing’ š
The other thing is in the house.
People
It ruins the mental wellbeing. Everyone is constantly pushing their agenda/opinions on you. Staying home being at peace with family is best.
No parking
Love all my friends who live in the city or want to go out there, but I’m not going to take a $50+ Uber or drive around for an hour trying to find a space on the street.
Then I donāt have to make small talk.
I hate smalltalk
It costs a hundred dollar bill every time I leave the house.
ughhhhh Iām tired
House: cozy, quiet, convenient, has things I want & need.Ā
The thing: none of that stuff.Ā
the autism has no interest in the peoplingĀ
I’m not in the mood to interact with others
People.
Laziness.
Reason or excuse? I donāt even need a reason, just being an introvert. But, Iāve mastered excuses.
because Iād be anxious the whole time at the thingĀ
PEOPLE
My dogs
all my stuff is here and I don’t have to get dressed
Came here to say ābecause peopleā but people beat me to it. Come on people!?
I just don’t want to go anywhere. I like being at home. I need my rest.

But I havenāt got a stitch to wearā¦ š¶Ā

Too busy with dealing with existential dread
People at the thing
I told my wife that up to this point in my life, this house is the most expensive thing I have ever bought. So why wouldnāt I want to spend all my time in it
Already made plans with my cat.
Diarrhea
I donāt want to put on a bra
Bra. If I can avoid putting it on, I do. Conversely, no canceling once itās on, we are going somewhere to justify my efforts.

Oh, I would love coming to the thing, but I’m afraid I’ve caught a cold..
Pants and people. The two Ps of why leaving the house is terrible.
My cat is on my lap
Because there are people at the thing
I donāt want to.

Quote from The Green Mile.
Couch more comfortable than pants
āI donāt want toā is my go to.
At the age of 59, the correct answer is “Nah. I’m really not feeling it. But thanks for thinking of me.”
Then I turn off my phone, because I’ve obviously forgotten to do so earlier, draw the curtains and go back to petting my cats and reading my books.
I *LOVE* being home alone
Other humans frequently annoy me
I would rather spend time with my dogs than people – it is my real reason
I don’t drive, there isn’t a bus line in my area, and uber is expensive, so unless a friend is also going and I can cach a ride, my ass is staying put. good thing I can get a lot of my necessities delivered.
ADHD? Anxiety? I’m comfy and don’t want to move?
I have zero friends, so I need zero reasons, which means at least 1 part of my life has zero stress.
Dont wanna.
People
There’s people out there.
Itās safer in here.
my couch is home, not at the thing
Although I’m good with people and not shy, I find them extremely draining. Takes me days to recharge after any social interactions
The vast majority of people are dumb as a door handle and canāt beat an insanely informative documentary or practicing Bach on my cello.
Ya Iām elitist, donāt care. Be more interesting.
My stuff is here. My pets and hobbies and things and husband. My bed is here and food I like.
I’ve always been kind of a black sheep of social gatherings. It’s always made me anxious so I just don’t bother interacting with most people. Also I just don’t understand how some people don’t comprehend simple concepts.
All my stuff is there
There are people at the thing
Anxiety
People. Itās people and has always been people. They are scary and a threat to my self esteem and self worth
Social anxiety mostly. Chronic pain and fatigue factor in.
I just say I’m not felling well.
Osteoarthritis and money
Itās my time, my energy, my life. Iāll do as I please with it.
I’ve been in customer service for 31 years at this point. I just don’t want to see people outside my husband and son.
Because I’m old enough not to care.
People and my lack of desire to deal with them.
Pants as a societal norm do not mesh with my preferred state of being.
Love my own company. Groceries: delivered
Laundry: picked up
And, frankly, Iām tired of being the only non-drinker in social situations. When I drank, I loved chitchat. When I had to quit (for a health issue,) I realized how boring people are. They have nothing interesting to say without booze.
Happy to stay home.
Donāt wanna. Aināt gonna.
I donāt wanna
Iām adult enough to just say āno thank youā when I donāt want to do something.
It’s way too people-y
I don’t like people
I’m of an age where I’m under zero obligations to give a fuck, so if I don’t want to do something, I don’t do it. No explanation is required.
People.
I donāt want to and Iām an adult so I can say no and mean it.
My dogs. Iād rather be home with them. I get enough people when Iām at work.
Itās not my jam, or I just simply donāt feel like it
Being fucking exhausted
If I’m paying $1800 a month for rent. I’m getting the most out of it. I’m watching TV, playing games and cleaning.
I don’t want to.
Don’t really need more of a reason than that.
People annoy me. Where there’s people, there is gonna be annoyance.
It’s not me, it’s you.
Kidding, but not.
Anxiety mostly.
I hate people š¤·āāļø
Because I donāt want to put any effort into my appearance, point blank period lol! It takes a special occasion (or work) to get me into something other than sweats/leggings, a hoodie, and slippers lol!
I donāt want to go to the thing because thereās people there. Thereās also people at my house but I like them.
I donāt want to.
As Jim Gaffigan said about not leaving the house to take his neighbor something….”I’d have to put on pants”.
No energy and I simply donāt care to do anything with anyone.
Iām not up for it
Because people
I don’t like to leave my dog.
Chronic pain, several different “flavors” of it. Plus depression
I already put on Pajamas. Once the Pajamas are on, itās overš š
money
Iām disabled and broke! It would hurt my body/exhaust me and I wouldnāt have anything to enjoy/show from it!
My personality (an introvert). Being out and about is sometimes too overstimulating and exhausting. I love peace and quiet.
Sorry. It’s to peopley out there.
Fatigue, sensory overload, just donāt want to
Anxiety
People
āI donāt want to.ā I shouldnāt have to give anyone any other reason than that, and if I do, Iām surrounded by the wrong people
Depression
My wife and I like to cook and watch movies. Snuggle with the dog.
It’s gotta be a wedding or a funeral to get us out of the house. And, ::tugs on tie:: we prefer the funeral.
Because I donāt want to interact with people.
Other people will be there.Ā
It will be crowded.
Cause THAT person may be there at the time.
Itās very expensive to step out my front door nowadays lol
I swear, I drop at least $100 if I go out to do āerrandsā š
Don’t want to. I have everything I need at home.
My #1 reason to stay in the house ? Probably to avoid getting paint all over my clothes like that table, yikes!
I don’t have to wear pants and my dogs are here.
