I like staying home. The weather is horrible around here so it's a good reason to.
I just don't want to end up a recluse....
I'm so right there with you. I've gotten to where I can't even imagine going out again. I used to go out all the time and now I just . . . don't. I feel like a hermit. When I have my kids, I end up at least leaving the house to do all their stuff that needs to be done but when they're with they're with their dad, I am on this couch, drinking tea, watching tv and on my computer. With my cats, which certainly doesn't help the whole hermit feeling, haha.
But the thing is, when I think of going out like I used to, I am filled with anxiety. Panic, almost.
So in I stay.
