When I first saw the 90's film "The Net," back in the 90s on its original release, I wanted Sandra Bullock's character's life. The film was made (and I saw it originally) before computers and online shopping and even online telecommuting for work had become as common as it is now, and when I saw her character just staying in her house and basically doing everything from there --- her IT work, her shopping, ordering pizza -- I was wowed.
This was a long time ago, remember!
These days all of this has become a reality for all of us, but this movie was one of the first to depict a lifestyle like this in the early days before even internet use made so many things convenient for work or shopping.
I wanted that film character's life, because I don't like leaving the house. Aside from times where something I really wanted to do or see or go to motivates me, I prefer being in my own home more than anything else.
I do have to go out because I work, and also in recent years one of my interests happens to take place outside (wildlife and wildlife photography). But I don't like dealing with people and I limit it in any way I can. Don't get me wrong, I can rise to the occasion and be a friendly person, I don't scare people away, but I resent the random contact and I long to just mind my own business and they theirs.
On days when I have no work, no errands to run, and no plans to have to leave, I LOVE to just get to stay home in my own environment. If I were independently wealthy I don't think I'd ever leave the house again.

On the other hand, friends will never need an explanation, and enemies bent on disliking me will never accept one.
