Your opinion on my way of life

I guess the word that best explains me is an introvert, I only go out for work, exercise, family events. I don't have many friends and I'm not very social with them, I'm asked by the same person if I want to go places(see a movie or go somewhere) but If I decline the offer politely I face a rant of how I should be doing more of my life and that people my age are doing soo much more, but I'm happy just sitting playing games and listening to music in my spare time.This person known me for a good while but saying no to anything leads to a argument which is frankly getting old. Im wondering if I'm really the issue and what I'm doing isn't good for me and maybe a more pro active life is needed, I'd like to read your thoughts on this, they are much appreciated.

Are you happy, healthy, with ambitions for the future and able to save some of your earnings for a rainy day?
If so, your lifestyle preferences are fine.

Do you want to spend more time socialising with friends outside?
Do you plan to date or have sex?

If so, you will need to make some changes to your lifestyle and habits to accomodation these ambitions.
Good luck!

Have you tried sports?

I'm pretty much of an introvert myself and I love sports.

Hi there, it's totally fine as long as you're feeling happy and healthy. In my opinion, you should put yourself first and have some goals and ambitions for your future. It doesn't matter if you're an introvert or extrovert, everyone is different and unique in their own ways. Politely declining an offer to go out is a very normal thing to do if you do not feel like you want to go out at the time being. This is a good thing as you're prioritising yourself and doesn't get affected easily. I think saying no to the person is entirely wrong if you've known them for a long time, they should be able to understand where you're coming from. You can try telling your friend the reason why you do not want to go out the next time to avoid misunderstandings or arguments. I don't think what you're doing is not good for you because you're happy with what you're doing. As long as you can keep up with work, exercise, and family events it's all good. But I think finding some time for your good friend is also important, once in awhile.

Kind regards,
