Do any of you not go out much?

Post Reply New Topic

It has to do with the custom of “offering a toast” during formal dinners.

Toastmasters has to do with being “social,” organizing your ideas, and knowing how to treat people well and graciously in general.

I go out almost every day with 1:1 staff supervision.

Usually I go out every day

But now that I am 36 it's like whatever

Bored at "home" . Nothing to do

But just loitering outside does nothing either

Meaningless

It is all meaningless

I don't go out a lot because I have difficulties in social situations and I also get overwhelmed a lot. I want to go out more but my parents don't want me going out alone. During the school year I go out twice a week with my aide/caretaker which is sometimes a bit weird because people ask questions about it. I also go out once a week with a social group during the school year. During the summer I sometimes go to a program for adults with special needs. There are outings involved with that. I like it. Other than that stuff, I don't usually go out.

I buy groceries infrequently because I can't drive, and go to college when that is in session. Other than that, I go shopping for non-perishables anywhere from twice a month to once every two months. Twice a month is too much for me if it's the same kind of store.
Shopping to me is the same as visiting family (except my maternal grandfather's side). The very extrovertred ones on my maternal grandmother's side is more akin to shoe shopping. I know I need to do it at some point, but the process of doing so is stressful. My maternal grandmother's family are assimilated Caucasian Americans and being raised Greek/Hispanic, it's a huge culture shock. Shoes in the house !

I go out when I have no choice. But, I will wait until the last possible minute.

I only go out by choice when it's climbing a hill.

I hate going out otherwise, it only gets worse with each exposure and I just f*****g hate it.

If I see people then I go the opposite way.

I go out daily , mostly to walk the dogs or buy food but seldom interact with others . Because of my sensory issues , I ' tune out ' as much noise as I can and try to stay in my own world when I go out . I always feel like I'm on the ' outside ' looking in , not really participating in whatever is going on around me . What few conversations I have are usually about the dogs and my responses are by rote . Safe , generic , tried and true . Hardly a real conversation .

I dont go out much

I go to the barn/work and I go to appointments on a regular basis. Errands occasionally. Things like going out to eat with Family or shopping with my mother is much more infrequent.. Then on a rare occasion I'll go to an event, like The Fair.

Maybe I'd go out more if I had someone I trusted to go with but I don't and I have no desire to do things alone, especially with my anxiety.

I don't go out a lot, but I like to get out of the house at least once a day for a little while, for exercise and fresh air, and if there happens to be anybody I can visit whose company I enjoy, I like to do that too. I also like to perform music and wouldn't want to miss the chance of playing in the bands I'm in, or performing solo. I pretty much have to go shopping for food, and I like to buy small amounts so I don't have to carry tons of stuff home, so I combine food runs with exercise, and sometimes I have to pick up parcels when the delivery has failed because I didn't hear the postman. I don't go to public bars etc. unless I'm performing. I don't go to the cinema, theatre or concerts and shows. I don't go sightseeing much. I hardly ever eat out, not even takeaway food. I'd rather get the ingredients and prepare it myself, it's cheaper and I get more control over the process.

It probably sounds like quite a lot of going out when it's all listed like that, but I spend most of my life at home. I don't particularly like it that way, except for the convenience of being close to all my creature comforts, and the privacy and peace and quiet, when it's there.

Literally speaking, quite a lot.
I wander a lot -- yet it is something I can afford having because my sense of direction is decent, sensory issues are the least of my problems, not afraid of getting lost and I'm not afraid of being alone.

But not much socializing is going on. Me alone going out mostly involves walking for miles to several places and check them out.
Then go back home.
If I have the budget and time, I'd pick a city few hours away and explore there for a while before going back home.

Going out as in participating stuff? Not very much. Partially because it's costly, and partially because I wouldn't end up being as active. I'd like it less if I cannot be alone or not allowed to leave at will because company says so.
Going out as in errands and appointments? I could do that as long as I did interpreted the instructions right.
