I know you, or maybe someone else reading this who feels similar, is probably just going to say "I'm an introvert" but, as it took me a while to realize, a lot of people (including myself) who say that actually are just looking for a convenient justification to not challenge themselves to leave the house.
I don't think introversion/extroversion is a good measure here. I actually do want to, and have tried to do some of these things over the past few months, but usually events happen at very inopportune times for my schedule, e.g. the local board game places do TCGs at something like 7pm-10pm on week nights which is time I usually allocate to decompressing after work. I've read all of the responses in this thread, just haven't been too motivated to reply until now as people have a pretty long standing tradition of just grossly misjudging who I am as a person. It's like all of the stuff wrt exercise. I am not wasting my time filling it with that when I can just waste my time working or staring blankly into space which is 90% of what I do in a day anyways.
