Hi im a 21 year old male and i barely go outside at all, i stay in the house and play video games all day. I dont have any friends the last time i hung out with anyone was like 4 years ago. Im a complete loaner and prefer to be alone. Some times ill stay in the house for 5 days straight or even longer. Is this normal?
I think its good to acknowledge that this is not a healthy pattern, so admit that at some stage you will have to change. But at the same time take it easy, dont crictize yourself or feel bad about it, just let it take its time, and when the time comes to step out then do it.
And the video games you play, is it with other people or solo? These days, with so much interaction being online, I think a lot of people do socialize, just not as much in-person. I think people find it easier to express themselves online. Anonymity > less shyness > more open > more fulfilling interactions, etc, etc.
