There are many days where I take my relationship for granted and we just go with the flow of life. Forgetting to stop and appreciate each other.
But on nights in, I really get to soak in how I live with my best friend and my cutest little fam. I’ve always preferred nights in. In college, I loved the pregames but not the parties. I loved when we all sat together and listened to our favorite music and talked and drank together before diluting our group with strangers.
I don’t do well in large groups of people. Bar settings always make me uncomfortable because I don’t like dancing and there’s nowhere to go for a fun conversation. Drinks are high priced and I have to keep in mind that I need to stay awake as long as the rest of my group.
Nights out just put a lot of pressure on me and honestly they give me anxiety. When I start getting anxiety about it, I basically ruin the night before it even began. So I have been opting for short nights out or more game nights with friends. Keeping things casual works for me.
I’ve also grown accustomed to picking up food and eating at my apartment rather than going out to eat. Again, the crowds, the wait time, the discomfort. While I prefer nights in though, I do need to continue pushing myself out of my comfort zone. Otherwise I’d really become a homebody. Even if it’s what I prefer, it’s not exactly healthy for me.

I think it can be healthy as long as you let me drag you out of the house from time to time 🙂

I definitely prefer nights in. If I am going out, I prefer day activities. And if I do go out at night, like for dinner, I am usually hope by 10PM.

I feel the same way! I love nights in, and I also tend to pick up takeout instead of eating out. The crowds are stressful, lol.

totally relate to you on this! My husband and I are such homebodies we really have to force ourselves to make more of an effort to get out & socialize. But at the end of the day some of my favorite times are just the two of us relaxing at home after a crazy week! All about finding that balance, huh? Thanks for sharing, Rosie- always love reading your posts 🙂

I always thought I preferred nights in because of my job but it’s really nice to know that you feel the same without having to be in a bar atmosphere 3-4 nights a week, too. 😛

Ever since quarantine – I’ve preferred nights in and have became a home body. I used to get cabin fever. I guess that’s what happens when you turn 30 😅
