Im not a social person

I dont actually get why people love to stay home all week.

story checks out.

Abso fucking lutely.

If you are not social, that means you are disincentivized to practice social interaction. That means you have a hard time socializing to not feel lonely when you do feel so.

I have always felt lonely as hell. And since I was not fucking stepping out to keep relationships alive and practice human interaction, I dug myself deeper into this hole. Now I cant even fucking make friends.

I would love to stay home and chill out. But I know Im wasting away in this virgin hell every single day.

There are many ways to socialize beyond work. I have a few work friends but I have many more friends with deeper connections whom I chose to stay in touch with outside of work.

Work friends will always have an essence of “if I didn’t have to interact with you every day I probably wouldn’t seek you out on my own” and many of them are very aware of it.

I mean I am not social either, but I wouldn't go back to the office just because I lack social interaction I would rather take up some hobbies that take me among people.

Also a huge benefit for me is that the time I would spend commuting I spend walking my dog instead.

not to mention I get up when I get up, absolute freedom.

the downside is lack of separation between work and home since I can technically work anytime I want.
