I'm so glad I'm here I can't wait to leave

[–] djmikeale@feddit.dk 3 points 1 week ago

Nah I love going out

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I will do anything to avoid going to the store on Sunday. It took me too long to learn.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 week ago

Lol - I had to. Learn the same lesson.

Google Maps has been a great help to know when to go to places like the grocery store or gym.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Only if I wind up around a lot of other people. People’s behavior in crowds and public transport tends to piss me off to an irrational degree.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Not any more.

No. I rarely go out, so I cherish every time I do. I have young kids and the dollar doesn't go as far as it used to.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

I try to remember what I don't like doing so that I can do something that I like doing instead next time

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Frequently the opposite thought occurs, and I have a good time. I recommend forgetting yourself and asking people around you to tell you about themselves. They’ll soon ask you about you. You can make friends that way. If they don’t ever ask about you, they’re an asshole.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yea, I'm just not interested any more.

I used to want to understand people better, but it's always the same old thing - everyone's got a chip on their shoulder and it's tiresome dealing with that.

I just wanna hang out and get to know you, but that chip really gets in the way.

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Not everyone has a chip, though. What everyone does have is a soul. Try to reach it in some kind of positive way, and people will like you.

[–] traches@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

It’s because you live somewhere built for cars and not for people.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Went to a new restaurant after work when I knew it wouldn't be busy. Just felt lonely but in that moment, that's pretty much what I thought. It wasn't a bar place, just a restaurant. I'm introverted af and so I don't like small talk anyway but yeah. Life gets to you.

[–] Ludrol@szmer.info 1 points 1 week ago

Nah, I always think that it's even better than I could comprehend inside. (being stressed in your own home is not fun)

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

Leave house

Immediately have to get in car, risk life, risk money, spend spend all my attention, wait a long time, just to have to take up valuable square footage downtown parking the damned thing
