Is anyone avoiding going outside at all

I go through stages when I dont go out at all, a few months ago I only left the house once in the month and only came out of my room for meals or bathroom visits. I know it sounds like a rather pathetic existance but sometimes I just dont feel like I can handle even just being in public so stay at home.

Dont get me wrong, above anything else I wish I could just go out on the weekends and have fun instead of sitting in bed like the rest of the week, but going outside takes so much damn effort and I dont always feel like coping with that stress.

One of these days Im gonna lose it completely, collapse screaming on a bus or something. Every day I stay in bed is another day that I dont make an ass of myself in front of people.

I go out on a daily basis. Nothing can keep me in, not even my SP as I'm more of an outdoors person anyways. Luckily for me though i live in a small town in the middle of nowhere so if I really dont want to see anyone i just head for the hills or the woods. Its a good thing to do if you can.

I've been thinking about just getting my GED and going to college, but I'm worried I'd find myself in a similar situation, not going to classes most of the time.

A few summers back I decided I'd take a summer course. I enjoyed the class--programming--well enough, but I found my social skills had become, shall we say...crap. I ended sitting next to some girl who found it impossible to stop talking. It was like torture for me, she would always be asking questions and I'd feel like the room was spinning, or falling, or something while I was trying to come up with some answer. Everyday was a battle to get to that class. I don't know, since then I have kind of given up on forcing myself out of the house. If you can't even take someone asking what your favorite band is, I guess you're just screwed.

Hehe, I've even went so far as to consider joining the United States Marine Corps, I figured then I would be forced to go out and live life. Maybe they would instill some little bit of confidence and pride in me, who knows. Don't quite think I'm Marine material though. Sad

Well defnitly don't want to go out this week because the schools are off don't like teenagers even though I'm kind of still one. The only time I've been out this week is to go to the docters to get me sick note and sign off the dole. I was supposed to go to the benifit office yesterday to get some forms so I could get sick pay, but there were too many doors and I didn't know which one to go in, so I just went home.

I never go out unless it's for a medical appointment. Other times, I try to go out, and I just stay in my mum's car. I can't get out and face people. I don't want to risk people talking to me.
