I don’t bother to go outside much or meet people, I’d

rather just stay at home watching a movie than going to a party or doing something with the people that live here. I have a boyfriend whom I’m always with and I have a best friend, she lives where I was born(7-8 hours from here driving). I meet her every summer for a month and I spend as much time as I can with my boyfriend, and he too with me. I’m telling you this to help me answer my question.

The problem: I never go outside, or rarely. I don’t know why! I feel comfortable in here and nothing can stress me, it’s like I can do what ever I want in here. I used to go out a lot but I changed, lost some friends due to spending much time with boyfriend but that didn’t bother me since I knew they weren’t the true kind of friends. I also got “socially awkward” as I like to call it. I feel more blushing and harder to talk when someone talks to me even to my “mother-in-law” (I call her that even though I’m not engaged or married) and I live with her and my boyfriend.

People in my close surroundings think I’m shy, I’m not that I know, I just don’t feel like talking to people if its unnecessary and something I have no interest in(probably sounds selfish but that’s the truth).

I think if I were someone else I would conclude that I was shy but I haven’t realized it yet or hanging with my boyfriend much has made me this way.

I don’t know, you tell me.
Maybe I have some sort of disorder.

I also have another problem: I cry a lot, sometimes many times a day without a reason, and I ask myself why am I crying, so stupid how does it happen? I just cry like something bad happened but there is actually no reason. Can anyone of you tell me why this might happen?

okay well im also somebody who enjoys being inside. im alot like you, i’m really happy just sitting inside and watching a movie! haha. i would say this is normal, but if your crying all the time maybe your missing something and just not realizing it. IDK but how about you try to go out for a day or two, maybe you’ll find yourself happier. I have. Recently, i’ve learned to go outside and i walk or bike about 5 miles each and every day. i don’t go out with people, really. i don’t really have friends to go out with… but just being outside has really helped me get through a particularly challenging year, i battled severe depression and suicidal thoughts. overall, YOUR NORMAL! as long as your happy, thats all that matters.
