I know what you mean. I just want to relax by myself a lot lately. Especially since I am gone every third week. I am actually taking tomorrow off so that I have some time to get my house in order before leaving for Dallas on Sunday. When I do feel social, I just want to spend time with good friends where I know that I will be comfortable and enjoy myself. I just don't have the energy for new social situations. I am really good at being "on" when I meet new people but it does wear down my batteries.
But it's a sad day when even the doorman is telling me that I need to get out more often. Oh, well. I am hoping that spring will invigorate me - it usually does. When the weather starts getting better I want to be out and about. So, here's hoping.
You say that now because you don't have someone special in your life but when you do find him you will find a way to fit him into your busy schedule and not have a problem with it.
I've been "cocooning" for the last year. It just is the way I want to be right now....only be around good friends (who require no "effort") or spend time alone...BUT sometimes I worry if I'm just doing it to avoid putting myself out there and getting hurt again....how much cocooning is TOO much??
I'm with you on this. All I've wanted to do for the past 3 days is be at home. I partially blame it on 5 days spent in the Caribbean in 80 degree weather and coming back to highs in the 40's. Otherwise, I think it's just your average funk. I plan on spending about 75% of my weekend at home and I'm not sad about that in the least.
I am feeling like this right now as well. I think it might be the pre-Spring thing -- when it warms up, I think I'll be more excited about going out and being social. I'm supposed to go out tonight with some coworkers, and I just can't seem to get too excited about hanging out with all the partyers out there who have been going strong since 8 a.m. today.
I think we all need time to "cocoon" and just rest and rejuvenate. I wouldn't mind sharing time with a special man, but I just don't have the energy to try and find him right now.

Ooh, that is bad about your doorman...almost as bad as the guy at the video store having my number memorized because I was in there so much, ha!

It is too much effort right now to do anything new.
Well, he's going to have to beat down my door to find me.
Rub it in, why don't ya!
