is it ok to be a 'shut in'

i live most of the time indoors, i don't like going out, i'm happiest when i'm at home and i like it....but sometimes i think that i'm missing out by staying in constantly.....one thing i realize is i won't find a partner by staying indoors.....but one of the main reasons why i don't like going out now is i don't like people or society, the way things are now...so i want to avoid it and avoid getting stressed out with people.

After a point in life, going out to "have fun" seems like a chore. Dealing with crowds, traffic, bs...

It is not like there is anything new under the sun anyways. Same city, people, problems, etc.

For finding a partner - by this age, most people are settled into their lifestyles and are not looking for someone to disrupt everything then walk out one day like the relationship never was.

In our youth we have all these hopes and dreams. Most of it never happens. We know what the world is really like. We want to do or have something but ANY little slip-up ruins everything.

Now the only thing we have to look forward to is old age. We just try to get there with the least damage possible.
