it’s very irritating — i even like closing the door for some reason to keep the cats out sometimes for complete privacy. I assume it’s something residual from childhood, but it’s very irritating. I’ve coalesced most of my main stuff that I use in the actual bedroom then the other rooms have more ‘display’ type stuff that I use less often
I can’t get myself to get up and be in my own damn living room. I don’t know why. It feels more empty, I suppose. It feels less….safe somehow. It’s very stupid and annoying that I am like this and I wish I wasn’t like this
and never mind the hell of knowing that some people actively hate being in their house, or preach that YOUr HomE iS JUsT A beD Get ouT THEre get OUt OF yoUr cOmFORT ZOnE. which is not the direction i want to go either, because that’s impossible for my brain and who i am at this point, and I’m fine with that. I like that about myself frankly.
But I want to watch a film on the big TV dammit.
Okay, hear me out... Big ass pillow fort for movie nights.
Try to bring the comfort of your room with you. And if you start spending more time out there, if and when you want to take another step, it can happen when you're ready.
Next steps might be finding a hobby or other activities that can be done in those spaces.
I know it's not universal, but I've found that if you can find something to love (or like) about the space, and you'll eventually love (or like) being there.
