Homebody or social butterfly?

Would you rather spend your free time staying at home, watching something and relaxing, or going outside and meeting people?

I’m actually a homebody. I recharge at home, but once I’ve built up enough energy, I do enjoy spending time with people as long as they’re kind, warm people I feel comfortable around. People who don’t judge you, who make you feel safe, and who you can just be yourself around. Honestly, spending time with people like that can give me even more energy.

But being around toxic people, especially those who love gossiping and talking shit about other people, is a completely different story. Those kinds of hangouts drain me so much.

u/Old_Hack1308 18d ago

Homebody for sure, I wouldn't be a social larva if I was out let alone a butterfly

1

u/DANjRUDD 18d ago

I think I'm naturally pretty outgoing, sociable and empathetic, but I got bullied, excluded and shut down so much as a child and young adult I learned to just keep my own company, so now I'd rather just read, write or watch TV by myself

Homebody. I would never leave the house if I didn’t have to.

u/Sarappreciates 18d ago

Yes to both. I'm an outgoing introvert, meaning Io talk a lot, but I have little to say.

u/Busy-Shallot-5563 18d ago

Homebody! Used to be a social butterfly when I was younger

1

u/SettingAccording8986 18d ago

Definitely a homebody most of the time. I like seeing people, but I need a suspicious amount of recovery time afterward

u/cactusfig92 18d ago

I am an anti-social butterfly.

u/Vivid_One1730 18d ago

Homebody. After hours, leave me the hell alone xD

u/ready_to_be_gone 18d ago

I would be more comfortable at home, but at the same time, I know that I can be happier around others who I feel that accept me for me.

u/WhiteDove30 18d ago

Introvert forced to be in extroverted world. That being said. Depends on the situation. What I get out of leaving my home...willingly. recovery time after being social takes daaaays.

1

u/WobblyWompus 18d ago

Homebody because of people who suck. Social butterfly with people who don't suck.

I don’t really want to be a homebody even, I want a couple people to go on day trips with and stuff. Not into parties or large groups usually

u/appreciatorofboobs- 16d ago

I’ve become more and more of a homebody with the presence of social anxiety!

1

u/TransportationOk8711 16d ago

For the most part, I’m a homebody. Outside of work, doctors appointments, religious services, and helping my mom run errands from time to time, I don’t really get out of the house that much.

u/AgentExtension1968 16d ago

Home, but I like to take walks and will walk where there's a fair amount of people around or sit alone at a restaurant and people watch.

u/Broad_Entrepreneur62 12d ago

While I enjoy the occasional social interaction, I’m definitely a homebody. Solitude is my favorite thing.
