I love my new house and don't want to go out.?!
Question: My partner and I bought our house 5 months ago, and I love it so much I find that I just want to hang around the house and the garden and relax. I have been saving and waiting for this house for 17 years and lived in flats up to this point. I found I partied and went out a lot when I was living in the flat as I had noisy nieghbours and felt cramped. We have a lot of friends over here now for BBQ's but I reluctantly accept invitations or like to venture too far away from home as my greatest joy is here and nothing compares to pottering in my garden or sitting on the back porch with my cat. I have never been like this before and am worried I may never enjoy going out again. Do you think this is normal?

This is normal - perfectly normal. I lovvveee my house and i find it more easier and relaxing for people to come over than i go to them. You know what - enjoy it! You worked hard for it .. you deserve it. Do everything in life that you find enjoyable. You dont have to satisfy others or do what other people find 'enjoyable' in their own way. I would only advise you to go out and not forget the outside world - not because its more fun or beacuse what you are doing is wrong - no.. its just that you would be connected with the outside world . You dont want to reach the level of being uncomfortbale when u leave your house. Anything to the extreme is bad in all its form . Ennjooy itt ;)
Sure it's normal. Enjoy your home. The roads are crammed with people going nowhere or trying to get away from something.
yes, to a point,
i moved into my tiny camphouse and i dont think i could go back to the city & live there again
Don't worry about what you think you "should" do, just enjoy your new home. Eventually you will probably settle into a routine that is a happy medium.
You sound very happy with you life now, and you are doing social things, so yes you are completely normal!
It's perfectly normal. You enjoy your house, and you're paying big bucks for it, so it only makes sense to stay home more often. Eventually the thrill will wear off a little and you'll be less reluctant to venture out. In the meantime, enjoy the fruits of your labor!
lucky, well just make sure you work or you partner. Nothing wrong with it your at peace hang on to it for all its worth.
Absolutely normal! You've worked hard(I'm assuming lol) to get what you wanted, now it's time to enjoy it :)
Wow I wish I had a house like that...you'll enjoy going out still but really I wish I loved my home that much...it could be enjoyable, but it's winter, dang it...it's about over tho! But don't worry..it's not really normal because the normal is that people hate there life's and there homes...but were two of a kind...happiness is an endangered emotion now-a-days!
You finally have a place that you love and can call home! i think that is great! be proud that you bought a house and can have privacy and friends over! After a while, you will be more settled and will enjoy going out, but right now, enjoy your wonderful new home! I'm jealous! ;)
ya its normal yur reaching that point in life when you want to settle down more and party less
I moved into my flat 7 months ago. I'm renting, but it's the first time i've had 'my own place'. I'm 26 and lived in as a nanny since 17.
It was so exciting when I first moved, after waiting so long. I never wanted to leave.
I think what you're feeling is normal- after waiting 17 years, you must want to make the most of it.
Do make sure you go out still though. I've been diagnosed with depression/panic disorder. This has created mild agoraphobia. I would LOVE to be able to leave home confidently again.
I lived in a very isolated area as a nanny, and had barely no contact with the 'real world'. It's now taking me a while to adapt again.
I don't want to scare you with my story, but don't lose contact with socialising outside of your home.
Once you've been out, you'll probably enjoy your new home even more!!
Oh, and Congratulations on making your dream come true :o)
IT IS STILL NEW TO YOU. MAKE YOURSELF GO SOMEPLACE SPECIAL EVERY WEEK
yea its normal!!! nuthing wrong with luving ur house! and yea u'll get out, u'll get hungry sumtime. lol, im giving this question a star.
Yes, it is entirely normal. Even more so with your first house and it still being new for you. Millions of people find their greatest peace and serenity in their homes or gardens. It's one of my greatest joys. I would not worry about becoming a hermit. What you describe is as normal as it gets. Enjoy!
