    Default I've become a shut in

    I just saw a thread over in Other Work about camming making someone a shut in and I realized I am one. I think I stay in my home wayyy too much but seem to have no desire to do anything else lol my bf asked if I wanted to go swimming at the lake last night with him and some friends and I turned him down because it was a whole 930 pm and I was in the middle of watching Master Chef do any of you ladies find you're forgetting what the outside world and *gasp* a social life is?

    Yes, I assume camming keeps most of us in the house for 8 hours a day.
    But thats how work is for everybody alive on this planet.
    what you do with the remaining hours is up to you.
    You can choose to be lonely, or ............
    u can choose to spend the extra time with family and friends... or get involved with other activities such as charity, a part time job, if u have pets, take your dogs to the park, throw a party... do to a gym... invite your neighbors to go to the movies with u...

    There are so many things u can do.
    U just have to want to do them...

    I used to hate being home all the time. I went through a tough time and lost nearly everything, so now I cam. Surprisingly enough, I don't mind anymore. Most of my 'social life' included spending money on drinks, food, etc when I was out and I rather enjoy saving that money instead so I can get a boob job or take a needed vacay. Hell, I don't even think I want to be around most people these days because all I think about is camming. I'm always finding new things to do, watch, or cook so it doesn't get too bad, and my cat keeps me company enough.

    Sometimes it gets boring as fuck, but it is what it is.

    Yes I can relate. I am a total shut in now. I haven't been out in ages. I don't want to go anywhere. I have actually lost my desire to be around real people. I thought I was having a breakdown until I read this. Now I don't feel alone. It's so funny because I live a different life now. Everything reminds me of camming or something related to this industry. I have to stop myself sometimes when I'm talking to friends and family because I bring up things affiliated with camming. They don't know what the hell I'm talking about because it's my "secret life". I laugh to myself and think if they only knew. It's crazy because I get so excited about new ideas related to camming and now it's my whole life. I don't want to have company, I feel like they are interrupting my time on cam. I have to cam when my child is at school or in bed so I feel my time is precious.

    Yeah thats me!!! but I dont think is good because if you stay all day at home you are gonna burn out and you will be procrastinating about camming. Im still trying to figure out what works for me, but I know that we need other distractions 2. Can you imagine if we had a regular job, and we were there 24/7, at some point we will go crazy!

    I'm a total shut in. I got one of my best friends an apartment in my building a couple months ago so we drag each other out, lol. If I have to run out for a loaf of bread I go knock on her door and take her with me otherwise I just won't be bothered to go. I just helped her get set up on MFC so soon I will have a camming buddy in my life, thank GOD!! And if I need someone for a g/g show she is just 2 doors down HAHAHA!

    hell yes. But I've never cammed before, dancing made me like that tho. I guess camming can get lonely too?? Maybe its the industry?, working so hard, and as someone else, giving attention to so many people that we wanna be by ourselves when we aren't workin? but in the long run i guess it's not healthy.
    I'm here to make money. NOT make friends, if I make a friend then it's a bonus.

    I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring

    See that's my problem too! I cam at night so I'm home during the day but I don't want to go anywhere b/c I'm convinced I'll record some content or something and then I don't and then I'm depressed that I haven't and what the hell have I been doing all day?

    I am a shut in, but by choice. I became tired of the social life for a while. I don't go out often, but I am using this time to focus on a career change for the future. Camming is only going to help me get where I need to be. Before my decision, I couldn't discipline myself to stay home to work lol

    Well I made myself go out and ended up buying a bunch of summer clothes..Yay! retail therapy! I also do school online since the one I'm registered in is in a different town. So work and education are home based which I think makes it worse. I'm so happy to see I'm not the only one though...I was starting to wonder if I was going into a depression or something.

    I'm basically an anti-social recluse too. I always tell myself I'm going to work on something but it becomes one of those things where if I have a large amount of time, I put it off and put it off because I have "all the time in the world" but if I only have a small chunk of time I'm like "Well, I won't have enough time to finish something so why bother?" Either way, I end up browsing SW and facebook all day... lol

    I generally force myself to go out if someone specifically invites me. But I only really have one friend I care to see very often and my bf. I interact with my bf's friends all the time but I feel kinda sad about the fact that if I didn't have him, I wouldn't really be talking to many people on a regular basis. My one friend is awesome and she's tons of fun to go out with, but lately, she has no money and never wants to really do anything anymore. For awhile, I funded her for everything because I just wanted someone to go out with, but I can't keep that up forever... Even when I just try to text her and ask if she wants to go lie by her pool, she generally won't get back to me until the sun is almost down.... so I've pretty much given up on that too. I wish I had more friends that were down to do fun, exciting stuff. But I pretty much blow off any plans that are just like "hey, come over and drink with 3 people for like an hour..." Just doesn't motivate me unless it's something more exciting. I tell myself I would be more productive at home, working... but of course, I don't really get that much done... It's kinda depressing that I would rather sit in front of my computer than bother to socialize even that little bit...

    I guess I'm kind of an "all or nothing" person when it comes to socializing. I either want to go out and get crazy or sit on my ass at home... so I usually end up sitting on my ass the majority of the time...

    omg, this is so so so me. YES.

    i'm becoming less of a recluse but it's hard. most days the farthest i get from my house is the coffee shop on the corner. my friends do drag me out to socialize, which i enjoy, but when i'm not working or thinking about work or planning for work i get anxious so...trying to solve that problem. i'm hoping to find a part time job outside the house (b/c my non camming work is also from home) after i move which might help

    ^Hahaha I feel ya. Seriously I dont like to leave the house because I dont get paid out *waveshand vaguely towards window* for the same thing I get paid to do in here. A guy wants to check out my ass? Out there- they just look. In here- they pay me. A guy is annoying me? Out there- have to put in the effort of actually walking away. In here- ban button. I'm having a fat day? Out there- put in tons of effort to look cute. In here- throw on panties and a tank top, call it casual day, work camera angles and get paid.

    Ummm why am I supposed to want to leave the house again? I'm surprised I havnt started getting me groceries delivered...

    Sometimes I take my laptop to the library. I'm still on the computer but at least it's a different location. I live near a university (I don't go there but I'm near it) so I can hang out there too.

    I make sure I leave my house once a day for a walk. sometimes you just don't need to though. I do my exercise and stuff at home too because I have exercise DVDs. I also find that I buy things when I go out which is not good for my wallet

    I have become a total shut in, I do school online and obviously cam. The highlight of my week is Tuesday night when the new episode of Deadliest Catch is on and I schedule work and school around that... pretty lame! I even hate going to the grocery store, thank god for my SO who forces me to get out on days that I seem to be losing it mentally! And it really doesn't help that I live in a place where the temperature gauge should read "HELL" which prevents me from walking to my mail box. Either way I find an excuse to stay home, it's my fault... I need to sign up for yoga or something to have a regular reason to leave.
