Do you go out often?

TLDR: Do you go out often?
The forum thread discusses individual preferences regarding going out and staying in. Overcast initiates the conversation by sharing that going out generally improves their mental and physical health and inquires about others' habits. Svjiminfxv mentions they go out when not busy, often with their mother. PGen98, however, mainly goes out for their mother's sake, not for personal enjoyment. Lammchen identifies as a homebody, enjoying quiet time at home and occasional outings like beer tastings with their husband. Soulwatcher dislikes going out and limits it to essential errands, while MamaFrankie admits to being agoraphobic. Lee and Jay™ also describe themselves as homebodies. Burtie contrasts by stating the need to go out at least weekly for sanity, making it a point to get outside every day. The thread highlights a mix of preferences for social interaction and personal time, ranging from frequent outings to predominantly staying at home due to various reasons including personal comfort and mental health issues.

I usually go out whenever I am free with the work. And that's something I have realized that going out kind of helps my life in general. I think it also helps the mental and physical health too. I have however noticed that going out with friends would be helpful as well.

Do you go out often? or do you don't go out much these days?
 
I go out whenever I am not busy and have nothing to do.
I am busy a lot these days and so are my friends so we have to arrange days to hang out. I always go to shops and go on walks with my mum though.
 
I'm a homebody!! I really love being home and oftentimes home alone. On Mondays my husband goes back to work and it's so relaxing to just have it nice and quiet and then I can do laundry and clean and the house looks good again.

We rarely go out and when we do, it's for lunch because it's less crowded. The liquor store my husband prefers is starting it's beer tastings up again, so next month I'll be driving him to those. He made a few friends there before covid and he enjoyed spending Friday nights with them, just standing around to try new beers and chat. He's not much of a conversationalist, but the others are so he never had to say much LOL
 
I’m a homebody too.

I need to go out somewhere at least once a week, usually more. It just keeps me sane. I make sure to stand outside everyday after my morning shower
