[quote=Anonymous]This is what I'd like to do in retirement. I don't want to be a shut in -- I'll leave the house, go to the store and the library and the gym and whatnot. But I kind of want to retire from socializing. Like no more cocktail parties or barbecues. No book clubs. No hosting of any kind unless it's my immediate family. If my spouse wants to have people over, that's fine, but I don't want to cook or make small talk, I want to just retreat to my office or bedroom and relax. I think I'm just done. Years of feeling compelled to be social in order to be a good spouse, good worker, good parent, and good neighbor. I just want to be done. Happy to spend time with family and text with my handful of close friends, but I'd like to retire from the rest of it and just spend the vast majority of my leisure time alone. Does anyone else feel this way? It is many years off for me but it sounds like a really nice, peaceful existence to me.[/quote]
