As someone who tends to be a massive homebody. I would say definitely interacting more with the outside world. Most of my pursuits or activities are mostly internal. Or should I say, mentally stimulating. Whenever I go out or out of the house, it’s usually because I have somewhere to be or somewhere to go. So, it’s a rare occurrence for me to be out just for the sake of it and living life. For example, a festival is where people usually go to immerse themselves in the joy of eating food or listening to music, and such, depending on what type of festival it is. People will go and just walk around, see what the festival has to offer, and enjoy the moment and experiences that it brings. I tend to go to things like these just to experience the main point of the festival and then leave. So, taking a food festival for an even more detailed example, people would get food and walk around, and enjoy the atmosphere and moment. I would get a takeout order and then leave the event asap. And this causes me to miss the moment of just experiencing things. It just seems very unnatural for me, and almost sort of a waste of time when it’s not true at all. Same way how I turned down to experience of seeing WWE in person in the crowd. My reasoning was that I would rather watch it on TV from my house to avoid the noisy crowd and atmosphere. Not realizing it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have tendencies to do things like this, and it worries me the more I think about it, that I will be a boring person, future-wise, to be around. Cause I would rather be at home playing video games, or reading or writing, and not experiencing things from the outside world. Of course, not everyone is like that, but I tend to have extreme tendencies of this to the point where I think it’s becoming unhealthy. I’m not averse to new experiences, but it’s just mentally draining for me to put in the effort to experience them, so I tend not to bother. But it would do me well to experience something new externally every now and then. Not to stay in the realm of constant mental endeavors.
