I've got a 2 week vacation and I've been pretty much staying inside since my vacation started. It's only day 3 and I've been playing games, watching movies, and doing other indoor things and already I'm bored and am thinking of just cancelling my vacation just to go back to work. Even though it's a paid vacation and I'd make the same amount if I just went back, it's starting to drive me crazy. Yes, I have walked outside and my work is mostly outdoors anyway.

But people who have been holed up since last march.... how the fuck do they stay sane? Let alone NEETs that have been doing this for decades.

If you dont understand something, it's because your IQ might be too low

Answer: people are lazy, what do you want from them?

For most of quarantine I was loving it, but I'm pretty burnt out on it these days. Video games are the best escapism tool I can think of. I love getting absorbed into their worlds

Lazy

Introvert

Boring/No other hobbies

Depression.

Probably the biggest reasons why someone would stay inside all day, in no particular order.

Because you stay inside your comfort zone if you do that

That doesn't make you lazy. There's nothing wrong with staying inside your comfort zone, lazy means you're failing to do things that need doing.

They don't? I mean they stay sane but it starts to wear on them mentally, in the form of anxiety, depression, etc.

Is someone supposed to play video games outside?

Underrated post.

My college roommate was a biiiiig gamer. So were all his HS friends. One time they were LAN'in it up, kids mom came in spouting off about "its a beautiful day you should enjoy it blah blah".

So they grabbed some extension cords and moved their setups into the backyard

You need more hobbies, play with your friends online, get through a tv show you never had time for.

Honestly it seems like you do not have enough to keep you busy away from work, usually a sign you work to much and your a workaholic.

Work out during this time too which watching something, usually how many people go the distance since they are more focused on a movie/show that they meet and exceed fitness goals.

Edit: You can also fix, clean up, or organize things you usually do not have time for, the 2 weeks paid vacation is ripe for opportunities and your just not maximizing its potential.

I was using lazy to mean comfort zone, not avoiding responsibilities. You corrected me by suggesting more accurate phrasing and I obliged, so you dont even think I was "equating" them, based on what you've said so far

He would have fallen under the "no other hobbies" category in my earlier post. Great guy, but only wants to game, which is fine if thats how you want to live your life. Just not for me.

Guess I could have separated or left out the "boring" aspect in my list. Really wasn't trying to come at anyone!

These days I spend pretty much all my free time inside. (winter + pandemic) I don't mind it. As long as I've got booze and tunes, I'm happy.

I enjoy doing stuff outside though. I spent the vast majority of my childhood outside. Video games was what we did on rainy days when there was nothing else to do.

You're someone after my own heart. Basically how I live. I work 4 days a week and the other 3 days I spend it alone in my apartment. Some people just won't understand but this is how I recharge and prepare for socializing. I just love watching t.v., playing games, reading, and writing. I don't need to leave because its much more entertaining where I am.

I mean...where am I going to go? To someone else's house and feel uncomfortable there? Eh. The most I used to do was go to the movies and sometimes go to the mall with friends but it was usually once every other month or so. The most socializing I do is Dungeons and Dragons and we do that over the pc now.
