I don't like going out--is something wrong with me?

I'm in my mid-twenties, and I've never liked going out.

At university I never did it, at school I tried it, while travelling too. I usually get tired, I dislike the noise and want to go home, though getting home is often tedious given transport etc.

I don't mind going for a drink if somewhere nearby, going for dinner (if limited time-frame that I can be assured will not go on endlessly), or meeting up with people to talk over coffee/a walk.

I just feel like I'm having the energy sucked out of me when I have to go out. As a consequence, I don't really have many friends. The ones I do see, I see rarely. I'm happier watching Netflix, writing or reading a book. I'm happier with my cat and my need for socialising is more or less satisfied by my husband's presence.

He sometimes goes out with friends, and while I'm always invited, I seldom want to go.

There's nothing wrong with you at all - you're just an introvert, by the sounds of it. I'm exactly the same way as you. Some people just don't enjoy it, and that's okay don't worry about it, it's completely normal and you shouldn't force yourself into situations you're uncomfortable in just to feel like you're doing what's expected of you.

Thanks, that’s reassuring. I just increasingly think I have issues as my mum always says I should be “having more fun” at my age, ie going out drinking, partying haha. And my husband, who says he is an introvert, has so many friends and enjoys meeting them in groups. I just don’t have the energy.
