Is it bad that I feel restless and really bored after being in home for just 2-3 days nowadays instead of going out?

So yeah nowadays I feel really restless and bored in home. As you all know I go to the Central areas of our city Bangalore in India like UB City mall, Lavelle Road, Church Street etc to socialize, film supercars, go to Cafes etc. But being in home makes me feel hard. I just went out at Tuesday and yesterday I didn't go out and today it's Thursday but already wish I had an interview or something today and I could go out but I couldn't because today is Ugadi which is an important festival in Bangalore and entire Karnataka state of India as it's the new year of local Kannadiga people so most offices are closed so I can't go out even giving an excuse of interview. I feel so restless because I live in Munnekolala which is a local residential area of our city Bangalore and it's very boring. We actually came here to live in the city since 2008 as my school was walking distance from home but now I outgrew this neighborhood. In Central Bangalore, there are many foreigners who are expats and many also short term tourists which gives an international and cosmopolitan atmosphere especially inside UB City mall and 1MG Lido mall and also Cafes like Starbucks in those areas.

I get to interact with foreign expat women from multiple countries around the world which feels great and also many Indian women are more open to interacting as well in those areas which makes the areas feel more Global. Also not to mention I get to see cool cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, even Rolls Royce, G Wagons, Maybachs etc especially on Sundays but sometimes even on weekdays as well and as a car enthusiast I love it. Also these areas like Lavelle Road and Indiranagar are so walkable and has amazing Cafes where I can just sip on some coffee. But Munnekolala is so boring. It's only Indian crowd and no international, no approachable women as its very local and more conservative than those Central areas, no supercars and mostly two-wheelers and some budget family cars like Swift, Alto K10, Brezza, Wagon R, Baleno, Tata Punch etc. There are no actual Cafes or courtyard areas like UB City or Church Street, also the streets aren't very walkable here and they dig up roads for pipeline work and the two wheelers are so annoying here always zooming past, honking and making so much noise.

There is also another reason. That is I am 25 and freshly done with MBA and job searching and living with parents(yeah this is very normal in India to live with parents) but my mom keeps on asking me about my job updates, compares me to my peers that they are working and sometimes being really demotivating like saying she feels frustrated that I am not getting a job yet, she feels no hope for me, she feels even this year I will mostly be in home without any purpose etc which makes home frustrating even though I am trying and giving interviews but getting ghosted eventually and she often scolds me for seeing phone all the time mostly because I have myopia in eyes and high power. My dad also mostly does work from home so lower privacy as he can enter my room any time to go to the washroom. I can't even cover songs on Smule app because either of my parent is always in home. It just sucks here. So going out to Central Bangalore areas makes me feel free and happy and I feel like a true "adult" which I don't feel when in home. I can meet and socialize with women which gives me social oxygen and makes me feel much better, I see cars which I love, I can see my phone or listen to music whenever I want, i can feel the international vibe of those areas and many more. Honestly I won't feel this once I get a job and get busy and meet new people in workplace. That's why even 2 or 3 days of being in home and Munnekolala in general makes me feel bored and restless. Is it a bad thing tho?

That is called "cabin fever" and yes it is normal if we are not used to sitting at home.

@HoeBag Yes. I really hope I get this job soon so that I can get busy. I wasn't used to sitting at home because so far I was in education like school, college and then MBA so busy and now suddenly I am more in home.
