Usually the opposite, maybe branch out and find new friends (don't have to lose the old ones lol) I could have fun wherever going out with the right people.

Then again we aren't usually just drinking, that sounds terrible
Almost daily!
I can't go anywhere with noisy crowds. The sensory stimulation is too much for me. It's not fun feeling ready to snap at any moment. Anytime I try going to the wrong kind of places I will regret it, so yeah.
No because anything is better than being surrounded by hostile people in your own home 24/7.

Nah I love going out
I will do anything to avoid going to the store on Sunday. It took me too long to learn.
Lol - I had to. Learn the same lesson.
Google Maps has been a great help to know when to go to places like the grocery store or gym.
I'm so glad I'm here I can't wait to leave
Leave house
Immediately have to get in car, risk life, risk money, spend spend all my attention, wait a long time, just to have to take up valuable square footage downtown parking the damned thing
No. I rarely go out, so I cherish every time I do. I have young kids and the dollar doesn't go as far as it used to.
Went to a new restaurant after work when I knew it wouldn't be busy. Just felt lonely but in that moment, that's pretty much what I thought. It wasn't a bar place, just a restaurant. I'm introverted af and so I don't like small talk anyway but yeah. Life gets to you.
Not any more.
Nah, I always think that it's even better than I could comprehend inside. (being stressed in your own home is not fun)
Frequently the opposite thought occurs, and I have a good time. I recommend forgetting yourself and asking people around you to tell you about themselves. They’ll soon ask you about you. You can make friends that way. If they don’t ever ask about you, they’re an asshole.
Yea, I'm just not interested any more.
I used to want to understand people better, but it's always the same old thing - everyone's got a chip on their shoulder and it's tiresome dealing with that.
I just wanna hang out and get to know you, but that chip really gets in the way.
Not everyone has a chip, though. What everyone does have is a soul. Try to reach it in some kind of positive way, and people will like you.
Hey baby, wanna bone?
It’s because you live somewhere built for cars and not for people.
