I feel the same way, although I often do it.

I had to invent my own life to survive. My parents were not accepting of the fact I had aspergers. They treated me horribly and wondered why I never came out of my room. It was simple, I didn't leave my room because whenever I did either my parents or the other kids at school hit me. So of course I stayed in my room, it became easy to make the association between outside and pain. Often, at school, I would hide in a corner at the library or somewhere far from the center of school. If I would so much as say hi to a person or maybe even crack a semblance of a smile, I would get hurt by someone.


WOW, I stay inside only because it is predictable, and there is nothing to do outside. I have a large home, and I should have gotten a tiny one. I rarely come out of my bedroom. :cry:

I NEVER go outside when there's no reason to do this, when it doesn't have any aim. I go outside only when I have to go somewhere, for example to see my hairdresser (normally I have very short hair but recently the last time I saw a hairdresser was in May when I had my strands painted), my dentist or when I go to the library.

I always found it strange that it could be possible for someone to derive pleasure from going outside to normally walk or to do something what in fact didn't have any aim. I'd love to go outside in the evening to walk - it's the only exception - when there's already dark but I find it dangerous - I'm afraid that I could be attacked by someone who would like to rob or even rape me. Visiting my grandparents in their village I used to climb a low hill close to their house every evening to watch a sunset :D I always liked evenings and the night-time.
