orangetree Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi, I wasn't sure where else to post this. Today is Saturday and I'm home alone, eating Pizza and watching Netflix. My boyfriend has to work and my friends are all out, drinking and going to a club later. I could have gone too, but I just feel like I'm not a going out person anymore at all. I'm only 27, but I love just being at home watching movies or shows alone and with my boyfriend instead of going out. My friends don't understand me, they say I'm too young to be already at home on the weekends. It's not that I never go out, but I do avoid clubs and only go to bars once in a while to have a drink with friends and even though I enjoy hanging out with friends, I don't enjoy the bar environment. I did when I was 16-24, now not anymore. Now, as I said, I enjoy being at home, watching movies, eat, be on the internet and do day stuff, like going for lunch, traveling or going an afternoon to the beach. Is anyone still quite young and feeling the same? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Gloria25 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ummm, not sure if the term you used "couch potato" applies here... What you sound like is a "homebody"...which is ok with me. BTW, I'm late 30's. I mean, I don't get people who always gotta be "out and about"...plus, that gets expensive. I also don't have a string of people in/out my home. I don't need that much social interaction. I mean, also for me "couch potato" means little or no physical activity...I mean, even on my "homebody" days home, I get up and swing to the gym, take a run and/or walk. I just don't perpetually veg on the sofa. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Even in my twenties I wasn't a big fan of going out just for the sake of going out. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
WonderWoman911 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'll be reaching 26 next month and I agree with you. When I turned 18, me and my friends went to the club ALL THE TIME,lol, and continued close to the age I am now. But it wasn't until I reached about 24 when I didn't care about going to clubs anymore. It just got really boring. It's like a "been there,done that" type of thing. Yes, I still occasionally go to lounges or bars, just for the social environment or to enjoy the music. But now it's not something that I HAVE TO DO. I know people who always need to go out. I don't understand that at all. I enjoy being home too, watching my shows on my dvr, etc. I still go out to have fun and do other fun things, but the club scene, that's basically a dead factor for me. I wouldn't use the term "couch potato" though,lol. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Noproblem Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It's your life but if you have friends, you should go out with them sometimes, at least once a month to a club or something... But this is a typical behavior of a girl who has found a boyfriend she leaves her friends, and holds on to him until she suffocates him and he ends up with another girl then she remembers she has friends and cries on their shoulders or He asks her to marry him and they have tons of kids and 5 years from then You will here come saying oh I wish I could have one night girls out like before .... But the more you stay home the more you watch tv the more you eat and then you will gain weight you will hate yourself you will eat more you will gain more weight you will get more health problems I mean the scenarios never end At least spend more time outdoors or at the gym it doesn't have to be clubbing! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
StalwartMind Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Depending on your environment and the general social tendencies of your country/location as well as your own personality, you'll hit that stage where going out just isn't as exhilarating as it once was. When it comes to club/bar/drinking in general, I hit that stage just before i turned 20, I just felt like there were much better and more fun things to do. Like others have said, when you've done that for awhile, in my case since the 14-15s, it just becomes the same old fast. You're 27, probably not too long before even your friends will start to feel the same, I think most people around their 30s change their habits a good bit if they haven't already. I'm 33 now and things seem to be pretty much the same as when I was a teen/early twenties, at least when it comes to going out. It's always possible to meet new friends, who have interest that click better with you, heck my parents still meet new people, and really all that matters is that you feel comfortable and satisfied with life.

LOL! Excuse me? I never said I never do anything with my friends.. in fact I often do stuff with them during the day, I just don't like the nightlife. I go to the gym almost every day. PLUS I'm not suffocating my boyfriend.. this is one of the most hilarious (and weirdest) answers I've ever got. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author orangetree Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 To the others, thanks for the answers yet! Indeed I'm not a 'couch potato' who's too lazy to do anything, in fact I go to the gym every day and I'm in great shape, I'm not overeating I just love eating I also like to do stuff during the day, I'm just not into going out anymore at all. It's just that sometimes it's so annoying when your friends are like 'Come on, how can you stay home, it's SATURDAY!'. Only because it's weekend doesn't mean I have to go out all the time. I like to meet for dinner and a few drinks, but then I like to be at home at midnight max. Sometimes even then your friends are like 'Come on, it's only midnight' and try to force you to stay out til 6 in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites
endlessabyss Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Nothing weird about it. I noticed the bar/club scene was lame around 23. It got so bad one night I left at 12, and never went back. I was more content being at home watching fear factor marathons with my daughter. Home life beats the club life, hands down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Poster Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Nope, I'm young and I'm the same way. I'm tired of the bar scene and I can't stand clubs. It just never appealed to me. I find no joy in spending money to be in a loud, blinding place full of drunk idiots. I had my time where I enjoyed it, but not anymore. I'm someone who really values peace and quiet. I much rather sit at home by the fire, eating some greasy food and watching a comedy. I love going to the beach or walking at night when it's empty. Socially I tend to love the smaller gatherings over larger ones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Poster Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Also, I find that the moments and memories I cherish the most from my past are always the more quieter, intimates ones. Never do I remember fondly nights filled with partying and racket. Link to post Share on other sites
