do you rarely leave the house

Post Reply New Topic

I've definately limited my social interactions in the last few years , I leave the house approx once or twice a week.

I hardly do. what about everyone else ?, I've pretty much come to dislike neurotypicals.. and.. Sadly just people in general.

every day, i obsessive compulsively leave the house for 10 or more hours.

yes, i dislike neurotypicals. (fine). but, in their defense, i do not know many autistics. so maybe if i knew more autistics, i would dislike the autistics as much or more as i dislike neurotypicals.

furthermore, i also dislike people in general. some of them once in a while, have positive things to offer. (fine). but, very rarely are they worth the energy that they act like they are worth.

in undergrad, i woke up around 7am usually. after undergrad, woke up later. now i wake up earlier.

my jail cell does not contain many things to do. if i stay inside too long, i do not burn enough calories.

likewise, getting fresh air. making financial transactions.

even when i leave the house, i do not often interact or otherwise talk to anyone. unless they approach me.

the older i get, the more i feel like why bother?

quite frankly, i feel like i am totally random.

precious little "people" treat me like i am stupid and trivial, a lot of the time. (they might be correct or justified). (fine).

however, precious little "people" usually act like they are smart and important. (by no stretch of the imagination could they be correct or justified.)

they just act like they are so much better than me.

It's unusual for me to leave my flat more than twice a week.Often it's only once to have my depot.

I force myself to walk around 30-40 min everyday, but I always want to stay inside. I do it strictly of health reasons.

I try to leave the house at least once every day, but I only interact with others when I need to ask for directions or need to know where something is in a store. Unless I have known someone for years, I do not know how to reciprocate when communicating with other people. My mind is usually quite blank even when I am in my comfort zone at home, so spontaneity in social situations is laughably difficult for me. When someone tries to initiate a conversation with me, I usually laugh inappropriately or shrug my shoulders. I surmise that if I behaved in such a way 30-40 years ago, I would have been placed in some kind of institution for the intellectually challenged.

I come from a very rich liniage of wanderers, and amblers that have autism. I am one that cannot settle at home. The only ceiling that I want under my head is the stars.

I stay in my apartment, I have my cat & friends online, that is all I need. I go out once in awhile, I have to walk if I go out. It's a pain when I take out my trash.

My therapist has warned me that I'm headed for real agoraphobia if I don't start tackling my anxiety about leaving the house.

^^^^how 'bout if you could make yourself go out, you reward yourself somehow, like going out to a good restaurant, for example?

Often it is an act of titanic proportions just going out for some cardio or to the library or to my meetings, I have a bad time getting myself out and about, before my mental health worsened I found it tough but was around five times more competent at weathering the hailstones that are always pelting down if you have the disease called Outsiditis (lame I know lol). The thing is I like places outside that are quiet and strange so I hope I can improve my connection over the next decade as my path through life picks up and hopefully gives me the energy to dedicate to braving the big outdoors more, it is no picnic feeling battered by everything beyond the walls you have that provide protection from all you can't reliably handle dealing with.

Depends on what's available to me. Typically, no. I don't leave the house. There is not much of particular interest within walking distance, and what there is, I have been there far too many times to care about returning. Now, if someone is willing to take me somewhere, I WILL leave the house. I am not unwilling to get out, as long as there is good reasoning for it. I live in Oregon, so my inspiration is usually a good hiking trail.

I never leave my house, unless someone invites me somewhere, and even then I probably wont leave unless the person is someone I particularly like, and the place they're inviting me to is quiet.

I pretty much just leave the house to buy booze. Sad, I know.

My natural inclination is to not to, I have to fight against my instincts.
