I think its good to get out and do things. I know its difficult When your alone and comfortable. I'm never completely alone or comfortable and I'm easily bored so I end up going out. I may take my car get a coffee and watch people in relationships doing what they do. eh I'm bored again.
going out gives you the chance to witness something. maybe a young dragonfly crawling out of its exoskeleton or a hawk eating a squirrel. But in the end I really don't see the point. Every day I survive only to repeat the nextday
"Societal expectations?"............ Yeah I'm not typical.
