Indoor person and I love it

Indoor or Outdoor Person?

There's no in-between; I'm totally an indoor person, and it's one lifestyle I've come to love with everything around me. Although sometimes I get the urge to go out, socialize, and be like a normal human, whenever I think about the certain things attached to it and the awkwardness it brings me, I crawl back to my inner hood.

This lifestyle started when I was very young. I have never loved going out like other kids. I preferred staying at home and eating food rather than going out to dance or walk in the midst of many people before getting to eat at a party. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t often opportuned to attend children’s parties. I didn’t start attending church at a young age, which is one of the most common ways children get involved with outings. What about school outings? No way! I was the shy type and found it difficult to engage in social activities that involved going out. The only thing I was good at back then was participating in match-pasts, and interschool competitions happened just once or twice.

So, that’s it—my childhood contributed a lot to this lifestyle. But notwithstanding, I’m very appreciative of that childhood experience because it has helped me a lot in my adult stage.

What’s Special About Being Indoors?

There are a lot of benefits to being a homie person. It saves a lot of money and keeps stress and trouble away.

This year, I was pushed out of my home to go out in the name of dating. I knew that visiting an eatery or a simple restaurant means one must have a reasonable amount of money in their account. The first day I went out, I couldn’t stop exclaiming in surprise throughout my stay there. The prices of things were so unbelievable, and I kept wondering how people coped with that lifestyle. But I didn’t think far because I knew most of the boys that visit such places are into internet fraud. I’m not saying one can’t use their genuinely earned money to visit such places—they do, but it’s very rare to make it an everyday thing.

Mehn, outside is damn costly. I don’t know how you guys cope with buying a bottle of Coca-Cola for 1,000 naira. How?

Although we can’t completely live life without encountering troubles, it’s true that one’s chances of meeting trouble are limited by the things they do and how they mingle with people. I love a trouble-free life, and if not mingling much with people or going out to have fun will give me that, then I’m all for it.

I know that if you don’t go out, you limit your chances of meeting opportunities. I’m aware of that, and I love finding those opportunities online with my phone. Yes, in as much as I’m not going out, I’m well-connected with people online.

I don’t know about you, but going out can be so stressful and tiring. And yes, I’m a very lazy person, and I love to conserve my energy.

Should I talk about the awkwardness that going out brings? Have you ever planned to attend a party where you’re not familiar with the faces of the people there, and as a result, you start looking for someone to escort you? Gosh! I can’t even imagine myself attending a party where I know I won’t be comfortable or a party I wasn’t directly invited to.

Thanks for reading.
