Do you go out everyday?

Asked by lostinyoureyes (1121points) August 24th, 2009

I’m always insecure about my lack of going out. I had suffered from shyness and social anxiety for several years until recently (after a lot of effort and determination, stepping out of comfort zone, etc.) where I’ve finally been able to come out of my shell and getting hobbies. However, these years I have missed could have been spent building a group of friends, going out, dating, and what have you. But I’m a late bloomer (early 20s now) so I have JUST started to get some of this in my life. But many days I just come home from work to spend time on my own reading, playing guitar, etc… lots of introverted activities.

When people ask me what a typical day like is for me, I am scared to say anything in fear I look like a hermit.

I want to practice hobbies on my own before starting to go out and doing it with other people (e.g. getting better at guitar before I start jamming with other players).....

Basically I feel like I have no life. What’s a normal day like for you guys? Labels like loner, hermit, homebody, boring, no life, etc. come to mind. I don’t know why I feel like introverted activities are viewed negatively.
