If it wasn’t for my wife and trying to accommodate her I would never waste the money and tolerate a bunch of strangers that want nothing to do with me , for so called travel
I can be much happier hiking or kayaking a white water river or reading a book on the beach of hanging out with friends. I don’t need to go somewhere to have superficial people hate me |
|
Well, I read this expecting to find someone saying they don’t find it relaxing and come home needing a vacation from their vacation. This is different. No, travel has never made me an insecure misanthrope.
Also, if you hate feeling judged, you have come to the wrong place. |
|
You don't have to travel to hike or kayak a white water river or read on the beach?
It's also not a requirement of travel to "have superficial people hate me." What a strange thought. |
| The older I get, the less I like to travel. I don’t sleep well on a good day so, when I wake up at 4:30 AM, I am stuck in the hotel room. |
| I am stuck sick with bronchitis. Trying to keep smiling , but I keep wondering why I tormenting myself like this |
Kayak is a drive. Hike is a drive. Beach is a drive No plane to get sick in |
| Sounds like it is the kind of travel you do that isn't a good fit. Go places where you can go kayaking or hiking and read a book on the beach. There are many, many people who travel to do those exact things! |
That's...travel. |
But without people and relatives. Maybe you are right. It is not the travel but the solitude. I am stuck with relatives I don’t know that I don’t speak the language , my head hurts and they are mean to my wife and there are step kids and sleeping in others office rooms. No where to escape without being criticized , so I sit like a rock in a crowd unable to breathe with my head throbbing. I hate this And they all love each other and jabber away |
|
I'm with you, OP. I'm in my early 40s and love road trips and hiking.
I hate crowds, flying is often VERY unpleasant, and I hate spending tons of money on mediocre food/experiences. |
What does this have to do with the topic at hand? |
|
The older I get the less I like it
Plus especially in the US people are sucky. Just so not nice. |
Seems that your issue is not with "travel" but with "visiting family." |
You are one strange person. What makes you so important that people even think about you much less 'hate' you. |
+1 I like to travel but I’m an introvert and need my privacy. That’s why I stick with my own family unit when we travel, and stay in a hotel when we can. |
