How often do you go out?

[Final Escape]

It's a multitude of different things that resulted in this. I'd prefer not to talk about it in detail. People are usually disgusted by me and I don't want SS members to picture me. Being anonymous helps a lot when you look like me.

Oh ok, I get it. Sorry if I came off rude. That sucks I'm sorry you have to go through this.

No, it's okay.

I only ever go out when I have mental health appointments and even those i have to cancel sometimes as it's to much to go out.
i have no friends so no-one to go out with and my social anxiety controls me.
even when I do go out I worry that I'll bump into a neighbour and I won't know what to say and make a fool of myself,I think people are means rude but I'm just so scared of life and making a mistake.
i always use self service when I need anything from the shops and dread it needing assistance.If I accidentally make eye contact i feel others can see inside me.
I've tried everything to change how I feel but these feelings all started when I was around seven.I don't remember anything before that and have huge gaps in my memory.I'm 48 now.
i managed to work until a few years ago but that all turned to shit .
I can only see one way out

Everyday because I have a stupid fucking job, on weekends Im a recluse though

I maybe leave my apartment twice or three times a week for a couple hours at most.

I rarely ever go out (I take out the trash when no ones around once in a blue moon). I'm on disability for being agoraphobic. It's probably my own fault really that I've progressively got worse and worse over the years, but then when I've tried before I'm just reminded again why I've become this way. I wasn't one for ever going outside much to begin with but there's nothing out there for me. I don't belong and wouldn't even want to by this point.

Too much shit got out of hand. Gotta ctb before it gets worse.

As an opiate addict I have to go out regularly. One of many reasons I want to CTB. And I know what you mean OP. I am very ugly as well. I went to an appointment a few days ago to get "treatment" (really just get people off my back) and had to answer a bunch of questions about my history, and my parents history (both addicts as well). The lady asked me if my mother did drugs while she was pregnant with me, and I told her "god I look like it". She laughed, which surprised me. Usually people are real serious in authoritative positions. I hate my face. Somehow I always ended up with really beautiful [damaged] women. And I've been told I'm attractive, but people also yell at me when theyre driving by me asking me if I want to buy some meth, or know where meth is. Then drive off laughing. Fuck people

It depends on the time of year and if I'm bothered. When I'm outside, I usually stay away from busy areas and stay in the country. I don't like walking because I'm always afraid I'm going to bump into someone I don't like. Fortunately, I don't consider myself 'ugly', so that's not a problem.

I mainly go to grocery stores, and to the mental health office for sessions. Contrast that with my old life, of being out all over nearly every day. (I lived in cities and was either on foot or using public transport.)

I had an enjoyable Costco experience the other day. It was warm inside on an autumnal day, it smelled good (kind of like Christmas), and there were good samples (truffle brie from my home county!). Lol.

Those sensory pleasures at Costco sound lovely!

Haha, it was a grand time, a grand time.

at least 2-4 times a week. mostly just to keep up appearances. to maintain bridges. to keep up an emotional connection w/ a romantic partner. but that's about it. rarely does it feel fulfilling.

That sounds exhausting. You are doing well at keeping up appearances. I've found not feeling connected to what's going around me is typical depression and meds that treat it as well.

at least once a week. usually it's involving one of my parents taking me out of the house. last week, my mother dropped me off to this lake and forest. i walked alone and for so long. i haven't felt that happy in a while.

 

[bag.of.cats]

I barely go out, only when I really need to, for the same reasons. You sound very much like me. Hit me up if you wanna talk.

I'm basically a recluse. The only time I ever leave my house is once a fortnight (if that) to sit in the car while my mum goes to a shop. Very rarely if I feel confident enough I will go inside the shops with her. Even then, I very soon get overwhelmed and want to I home. I do however have a decent garden that I go out often.

If i could do it all online and get everything delivered i would do. I prefer going out when it's dark, just because the sensory impact of life is less, it's quieter and less people around.
