I'm a pretty social person. In the sens I feel comfortable with people and with large groups.
However something frets me a bit. I don't like going out. Oftentime when I go out I'm just thinking how much I'd like to be home where I do everything I want to and daydream as much as I want.
And this is pretty confusing because this is not by spending your days home you live life right ? You end up getting stuck in a rut maybe ?
And I've been trying to force myself to stay a bit longer each time. But I generally end up feeling burned out even more. And just like I don't fit in and that it's just not for me. From the outside nobody sees that of course but this can be pretty draining.
Do you think I should try even harder and that there is some kind of breaking point I'm gonna pass ? Or should I do how I feel and stop trying so hard ?
English is not my first langage btw sry if there are some mistakes

This sounds like an anxiety problem and perhaps agoraphobia. That's the fear of people, crowds or situations in which you feel difficulty or no control over or how to leave. You'll often never leave the house because of it. That may be your issue and has only recently cropped up.
What you need to do now is see your doctor. Describe to them what you did here and see what ideas and solutions they come up with. This isn't normal behaviour and cause for some concern and to be looked out.

I think agoraphobia is a bit strong for this but I think you point out something I didn't noticed. I totally scared of not being able to leave out of any situation. Even going to parties, I feel a bit more at ease when I went by car and I can leave whenever I want. I never sleep at other people's house.
Thank you this actually is insightful ! Have a nice day
