Thanks for this, Pookyl. I suffered crippling agoraphobia in my twenties and it was difficult to overcome. Once I was well on the road to recovery I made a point of leaving the house each day so I'd never go back there again. And it worked for many years. But a series of **** - storm life events and here I am in my late 40s, once again living life as a hermit.
I am an introvert, like others have mentioned, and I do like being home, but this has become not a good thing I think.
