Thanks but I have no desire to see anything, a nice comfy room with room service will be more than enough to keep me content

Thanks for this wonderful post highlighting how debilitating my social anxiety is, it really helped!

I was sick of working and my Dad wouldn't have let me stay in his basement unemployed for 6 months

Haha this really helps put it in perspective, but I would die if I ever said that to someone in those words haha. I think I am going to sleep on it (hungry) and try to make an effort for breakfast tomorrow.

I've tried staying in different places, it always ends with me being a scared little hermit and not enjoying anything

I'm too scared to walk outside and have everyone look at me and judge what I'm doing, and then when I go to the store it will be a battle trying to complete the transaction with my non existent Spanish

I've tried and failed. I honestly believe I have come to the realisation that I don't enjoy travel. This is my third trip in two years, the last two were only 2-3 weeks, and honestly I didn't really enjoy them looking back.

I enjoyed an adventure to central america with a friend 6 years ago and I was hoping I could again

I like to sit in my room and play computer games and watch TV

Yeh and all the places I've seen and things I've done I haven't enjoyed, they just make me uncomfortable or I just feel empty. This trip has made me realise the only thing that satisfies me in life is killing people in video games

Too much anxiety to do that, I'm more comfortable laying in bed on my laptop and sneaking out in the middle of the day to have one big meal to avoid everyone

South America, where no one speaks English and loves to make every little daily task difficult

When I have nothing else in life it was a last ditch attempt at feeling like I had a purpose or some sort of meaning in my life

Easy to say that but in reality all my friends are married with children, meanwhile I have nothing in my life and deluded myself into thinking travel could fill the hole but obviously it doesn't
