Staying home is boring, do you feel the same way?

I used to be a homebody and never went anywhere. But now, I own a business and have a part time job and I am loving every minute of it!! I am very much a people-person and love being around people and making friends. Is there any where you can volunteer like a shelter or maybe a school? That could help you get out of the house and curb some of your boredom. Plus you could meet new people.

I am an indoor person so I don't mind being alone..I have the tv..I watch dvds..I play on the computer..surf..read books..write stories..I can do all that in the company of myself inside my own home. I have loads of things to do at home rather than go out. It will be just so tiring to do so.

[i]Hi Bebs, ohhh...same here! It is very hard really and oftentimes, I will be pouring out the feelings to hubby which is also unfair but I know he understand it very much! It's hard not to go out alone, have to wait because we can't drive and all...MOst of the time, I will consume my time watching the series and news online, my favorite station! ABS~ lOL! I don't watch TV here when I am alone..I am always dating the PC! It's really boring![/i]

I love to be at home and I detest to go out. I just can't stand the traffic, the people, the weather, you name it. I'm an immigrant, I guess, I'm a German living in Mexico (funny thing, I never saw myself in that light), and I avoid whenever I can to go out. I don't like to sozialise, I wouldn't know what to do at a party.... Get the picture LOL? So I feel the Internet was just God's gift to ME. (This was supposed to be funny, too, I just didn't want to put LOL again.) Keep up your spirits, when the time is right you will find new friends, wherever it is you live.

I work from home. It takes some getting used to. That is for sure. I do enjoy my time outside the house. But it is a bonus being able to be home when my daughter gets home from school. Makes the sacrafice worth it.

Hi Bebs! I think it makes me feel comfortable and enjoyable when I am just at home. It just tires me a lot when I am outside the house. Maybe I just feel comfort and relaxation in my own home. At home, I don't feel any boredom because I have my siblings and we talk a lot as well as my parents. I can also do a lot of productive things at home.

Not at all!! I am a 100 percent stay at home. I don't feel like stepping out of the house at all. And hope I never shall. I simply detest going out of my house. For me, my home is my world. I have my laptop and my work of freelance writing here. I have my pets. I have my garden. Oh, home is indeed sweet home!! Cheers and happy mylotting

bebs hi yes thats why I am mylotting as I could not get used to being home all day retired and sick ot the four walls, so mylot has sort of saved my live. I was getting so depressed' then I happened on mylot and my has it helped me so much. 'I tune in to all mylot friends and have a ball, and making some grocery money is not bad either. I had worked 23 years 'at the library and was let go,a gentleway of saying fired, for being almost eighty.

It can get boring at times, but theres always something to do around my house, I don't have time to get bored. I've never worked outside the house so I don't know what its like to have someone to talk to all day or someone to hang out with. Just this week tho, I've been working, I'm helping this lady clean her house, she has a huge house, and only two people live in it, all their kids are grown and one is in college. But she called me up and asked if I would help her, she said she'd pay me, so thats what I'm doing, and it makes me feel glad to get out of the house, even tho, I have to come home in the afternoons and clean my own house..lol.

When I was younger I felt that way. Now, when I get a day off I try to take care of everything before reaching my yard. Once I'm there, I don't want to move or go anywhere. I cherish every moment I can sit and chill in the comfort of my humble abode. Especially when it's raining.

Hi Bebs! I really don't find staying at home as boring. Honestly, I am a home buddy. I prefer staying at home rather than going to malls or hanging out in clubs. I just want to be relaxed from a week long of work. I rather spend my spare time relaxing by watching TV, watching my favorite movies, chatting with my siblings and reading different books.

I have been really bored. I am three months pregnant, and I lost my job on mother's day right before I got pregnant. I think that is ironic. I like being home for my son, daughter and hubby. I thought I would get so much done, and the house would be spotless. Yeah right. Lateley I barely want to get off the couch. I get up do stuff for 30 minutes and sit back down. I don't know why I feel so worn out. I guess I am just bored with cleaning cause that is all I do lately. My air in my car has gone out, and I am in GA so I don't want to go anywhere in the heat. Not counting the fuel cost. I am trying to work at home. I work for a couple of well known companies from home, but I have so much competetion and the economy has my sales way down.

Although I am by nature a social butterfly, I do enjoy staying at home - especially when my kids are in school - which is good because I am a work from home mom and we only have one car. Being at home alone presents me with blessed time alone - quiet time - during which I can conduct my business, achieve my housework uninterrupted, have a personal spa day, etc. This is my time for me. If I want to leave, I walk wherever I want to go. This is something I became accustomed to when I lived in Italy - walking or cycling whenever I wanted or needed to get out of the house. I talk to people I've never met and that helps me gain new friends and new business prospects.

OMG I cant stand being at home. home is so boring! i feel so depressed wen im at home and feel as if my life is being wasted away wen im not out having fun and socialising. I have really really boring friends and a really boring sister that hardly ever want to go out and do all the fun stuff most outgoing people like to do. It makes me so angry and i just wish they wer more outgoing like me!

I think you can go out and make some friends. It just another country but there is not reason for stay at home. Maybe the language is a barrier to comunicate but you can have to try to learn and English is a most used language so I think there are some people can speak English near you.

Yes, it can be if there is nothing to do. Or, you just continue to do the same things over and over.. But, once you find an hobby to preoccupy your time, then it gets less boring..

I am between homebody and love going out. Staying home and doing nothing makes me really bored. I have to make sure if I am not chatting to my friends I have to do something, or else I would totally get bored and lately I am feeling homesick. But my husband is trying to cheer me up like going out for dinner, visit at his brother's house.

I guess that staying at home, this can be boring! It all depends on how you utilize your time within your home. I personally love to read. I love playing with my PS2 even though I am 33 years of age! I love exercising, I have several machines within my flat! I also love cycling and so I get out quite a lot that way. If the truth be told, I'm a fairly quiet person and so, I guess I don't socialize much! I feel no shame in admitting this. So, if I am not out there socializing, then what do I do? I have to come up with something and improvise otherwise I will end up in the loony bin . I think that everyone handles boredom differently. To sit at four walls though, no, I could not handle that.

I have a same feeling with you.By now I have enjoyed my summer vacation for nearly 2 months (I am a student).I have nothing to do ,it seems everyone is busy except me .I just face to computer ,that is so boring and makes me crazy. Fortunately I will go to school tomorrow, these boring days will end ,that is great.

I know how you feel. My husband and I just moved to Washington DC. I haven't found a job here yet, and I was very active between work, church and the community where we used to live. I'm having a really hard time adjusting. We don't have any friends here, and like you-- I'm stuck in the apt. all day with no one to talk to until my husband gets home from school. (He's in grad school, and also works at the university.) I'm trying to find a job, but it's been very difficult. We only have one car, so I can't get out on my own and do anything b/c hubby is gone all day m-f! The metro line doesn't come up as far as we live from the city, so that's out, and I don't trust Taxi's. I love to garden- but now instead of living in a house like we did in NC, we live in an apt. on the 3rd floor and I have no yard. It really stinks!
