I have this issue with being sociable. I often prefer to just stay at home with my husband and/or with my kids rather than socialize with other people. However, i want to admit that there are also times that i want to go out, walk around, visit places but the problem is the only person i know who can be with me is my husband. I want to meet new friends, new faces. It's not that i don't like my husband anymore but in times that he doesn't feel like going out I am left with no choice but to just stay at home. I am so desperate to go out. I work at home, so i really don't go out to go to work. I'm stuck inside the house.

Is there a reason you can't go out or go places by yourself? I don't understand why you think if your husband doesn't want to go that you have 'no choice' but to stay at home. Is it a cultural thing?

Yeah, i know it's not normal but this is really how i am. I can go out by myself but if i will just be alone, i'd rather stay at home. I prefer to go out with my husband or a friend, at least. Since, all my friends in high school and college are distant to me because of their work location, i really don't have someone to be with..other than my husband..sigh..it's really something that i want to change in my attitude. Thank you for responding, by the way. I appreciate it.

I agree with #1. Is there a reason why you can't go out alone? I do it all the time. It's fun to be by myself. If you are afraid something is going to happen to you, pick places to go where there are lots of people and go in the daytime. You can also try to find a group with similar interests as yours and try to do something with them. That way, you can meet new people.

There's really nothing wrong going out alone. I do it sometimes, like, when i have to buy grocery stuffs or needs to follow up on offices or something like that, only when there is something important that i need to take care of outside then i go out alone. I'm specifically refering to going out for leisure or for fun. Finding a group actually is my problem coz i don't know where to find them and how here where i am. That's one thing i want to improve on, socializing with other people.
