    Default I've become a recluse

    Well, since I took this personal leave from school I have really become a recluse. I just don't want to leave the house at all. Anybody else feel this way?

    I have gone thru episodes of it. Dancing has made me not want to be around other people when i am not at work.

    But yes I have days where i cant face going outside.

    If it continues on and you are truly in fear of leaving the house it could be agoraphobia.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    I'm right there with you. It seems lke i have to talk myself into going anywhere lately..even tanning. At least by myself. If hubby and I are going somewhere together I'm ok..but I dont want to leave my house. And when i'm gone...I'm counting the hours until I can be home again.

    I'm just tired I think and annoyed at the world right now...

    I used to feel weird because I never liked to go out as much as my friends did. I'd rather stay home. It's part of who I am, I'm pretty asocial, don't care for clubs, bars, get-togethers with friends, etc.

    But there comes a point at which this starts to cause problems, like you mention, I just don't want to leave my house for any reason. At all. Unless I absolutely have to. I've not stepped foot outside my door for 72 hours at a time--and then it was only to take the garbage out. But this will turn into a downward spiral if I let it continue because at some point anxiety creeps in over the prospect of leaving the house.

    This is when I have to do something I like, like going to a park, then stopping at a store on my way home--anything to get me out and break the cycle. It's hard for me to find balance between my reclusiveness and depression...if that makes sense.

    It could be a problem if it's extreme, or due to depression or fear (as jaiz mentioned, agoraphobia), however... some people are just naturally introverted. Our culture tends to prefer extroverted people, but not everyone is. It's not in and of itself a bad thing to be an introvert. Introverts can be end being brilliant creators, sensitive, have some very intense and close relationships. One good definition I heard long ago, extroverts get their "batteries recharged" by being around other people, while introverts recharge their batteries by spending time alone. We all aren't cut from exactly the same cloth so don't let anyone make you feel lesser for being an introverted type. Still, it is good to push yourself occasionally to get out. Likewise it's often good for the extrovert to push themselves sometimes to spend a bit more time alone.

    Whenever I'd go through bouts of depression I'd feel like that. If you make plans with people who will be really mad if you dick them over, it's a good way to get the ball rolling. A body in motion stays in motion. And then there are times you just gotta ride it out. Sucks but..you know, that's just how it can be.

    You're just stuck in a rut. Be careful though. You may get used to it to the point that it will affect your finances and relationships with people. Ride it out for now but make sure to tell yourself when it's time to get out.

    I get like that sometimes. Sometimes you just need some time for yourself. Unless it becomes a problem and interferes with your life I wouldn't worry about it. Some people also just tend to like to stay in more and be alone. My mom and brother are both like this and it's just the way they are.

    I had that after I had my first son, I didn't even want to go to the mailbox! If you can speak to a counsellor, it helped me a bunch. I'm sorry
