Do I really need this?

I live in an apartment. Just the basic needs are fine. But mostly a lot of people who come visit me say I look miserable. I just have a wifi. My work computer. A mattress on the floor, drawer for clothes.on my kitchen its just the rice cooker. A dish rack. An electric stove and thats it..no whatsover decorations. I dont really think I need them. Idk i kinda feel embarassed whenever people come inside my apartment. I kinda like to earn money so i dont buy a lot of stuff.

If you’re genuinely happy with the feel of your environment then open with that. If you’re spending your money in ways that bring you joy or saving for something that matters to you then open with that.

People may be misinterpreting your environment like if it’s dirty or you have a lot of half-broken things etc as a sign of depression.

That said, if your apartment isn’t a comfortable a atmosphere (clean-ish, places to comfortably sit/eat, neutral or pleasant smelling etc) for visitors then.. don’t be surprised if they’re not comfortable. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Easier to just not invite them over since you’ve designed your space for your comfort, not hospitality (which is totally fine)
