People who never leave the house - why?!

[Anonymous]

I'm an introvert, and think it's extremely healthy to leave the house for at least a little bit, every day. To go outside, get exercise, get air, run an errand, interact with people even if it's just passing people on the sidewalk. And sure, I think many people are aholes, but it's still important to get out and see other humans.

I have a long term houseguest who hasn't left the house for 3 days now, and it's insane to me. That's terribly unhealthy. Even when I've had covid/flu/strep/etc, I never went 24+ hours without even going outside for a little bit. I'm not sure I spend more than 3 days in an entire year without never leaving the house to at least go for a walk.

Because I’m extremely depressed. Bit I’m going to the stupid grocery store, so I hope that’s good enough.

What is "best" or healthy about not leaving the house for days at a time, if you're not sick or immobile?

I’ve stayed home for a few days in a row plenty of times, especially since the pandemic when I no longer need to be in the office every day. What’s the big deal? Sometimes I don’t leave because I just need some down time. Sometimes I’m busy doing chores, laundry, etc all day and by then I’m too tired to go anywhere. I like my house. I don’t need to be out in the world to interact with people just because. I feel like I get a lot of interaction while I work. Everyone is different.

Maybe what’s best for that person is some quiet time alone at home. You do know that people prefer different things right? You seem like you’re trying to find a reason to judge your houseguest. Nothing healthy about that.

If I'm a houseguest I always make it a point to leave the house for an hour or two to give them time away from me. But I love when I can just burrow in bed, reading magazines and when I get bored, books, and when I get bored, watch Netflix and putter around and whatever. I have no need for people. Dogs, maybe, but never people. My window is open - and the air is dirty. No need to go out for "fresh air" and the people in my neighborhood are homeless. so no need to walk past them and get called a fat ass*ole or whatever.

I'm with you, OP. I have two large dogs that require at least 2 big walks a day. It's occasionally annoying, but more often than not I find once I'm out, getting some air, maybe having some brief social interaction (they're social and get a lot of attention) I'm glad I left the house. It's just a nice mental break and reset.

Leave the person alone.

You get to pick what goes on in your life. Period.

Some people suffer from mental illness, depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, etc…

Stop judging people, OP.

Look, I'm a solid introvert. I get that. I need plenty of recharge time. But ALL DAY for DAYS at a time is abnormal. Doesn't mean you have to have conversations every time you go out, but it's absolutely unhealthy to not get a little vitamin D, move your joints, muscles, and get your bloodflow pumping for a 30 minute walk.

Mental health issues.

Agree. Also people with kids who keep their kids inside at home by default are super weird and lazy.

Many people have gyms at home.

I disagree. Ahh how refreshing, see how easy it is to have one's own opinion on personal behavior, even if someone that disagrees with you uses all caps?
