I'd Rather Stay Home Alone Than Going Out

I don't understand the general idea of going out. Or maybe it's some people who don't understand that going out is not for everyone and it's not a crucial element of a human's life. I've actually been kind of socially "bullied" about not being very outgoing. I admit it- I always spend the best quality time with myself, I value reading, chatting, watching movies, writing, or even playing video games much more than spending time in loud places full of smoke, where you abuse both your liver and wallet at the same time. I don't believe that pubs and such are a good place to meet new people- no, I don't think it's impossible to meet someone valuable there, but absolutely nothing in the Universe is impossible, some things are just extremely unlikely, as the physicists say. :) I'm also annoyed when people suggest that single folks should hang out in bars, pubs in clubs in order to find their significant others! I just can't understand:
a) since when is dating more deadly serious regular hunting? It's like the hunter hanging out in the animal's natural habitat trying to spot it and... well, kill it.
b) how on Earth a dude who spends his time and money in a pub, doing pretty much nothing, and waiting for pretty much nothing more than a liver failure, could be my Mr. Right?! I'd rather stay single.

Keep calm and be completely unsociable. <3

well written...lol
I was bullied often about it, or maybe bullied is not the right word, but I was regularly pressured into going out and socialising. Being made to feel embarrassed about what I actually liked to spend my time doing.
For years I felt bad about who I was and kept trying to "fix" myself, but gradually I just started to get fucked off with the world and the people in it, and gave the world the finger.
I'm a lot more comfortable about who I am now that I've stopped trying to fit in and conform to people's expectations of me.
I must admit though, there are often times when I wish I had someone to just go out with and do random shit. But the trouble I have with friends is that they become too much work for me and I just end up feeling inconvenienced by them.
I guess I still have some figuring out to do.

Oh, I understand. Sometimes I see people hanging out with their friends and I'm like "that would be cool", but 3 seconds after that I'm over the idea of socializing. People fail very often and being disappointed yet another time is always hurtful.

I really REALLY wanted to go to SOE live this year in Vegas (I've never been to anything like that) but I was reluctant to try it alone.
I think next year I'll do it though
