Would you date a shut-in ?

Sure...

 

Yes. Because I kinds am one as well. Well, I'm just an introvert.

 

Oh dear, what a perfect definition!
I'm a completely shut-in in winter, and out-going in the summer
So yes, I would date another shut-in, but I will still force him/her to come out in the summer.

 

I would, but it would probably be better for me if I didn't. I'm very introverted, so I'm not one to just "go out" myself. If I were to date a shut in, we would probably never ever go out to interact with others, which usually has a negative effect on my mental health.

 

No that sounds extremely boring.

 

We would have so much in common.
Yes. I would

 

Yes I would date a shut-in, it would be so much easier.

 

My little brother is agoraphobic. He never leaves the house.

My best friend is also borderline agoraphobic. He has autism, and crowds, noises, etc bother him. But it doesn't bother me, we always find stuff to do at my/his house. Once, he even took me to a movie, which was a huge deal for him.

So yes, I don't think it would bother me. Mostly because I'm used to it, I guess.

 

I am a shut-in too, so I guess? Though I would prefer dating someone who doesn't mind going out for groceries. If both of us doesn't like going out, it can be a pain sometimes.

 

Yes! More quality time (*hug*)

 

I'm a bit of a shut in myself so yes.

 

Yes.

 

What sort of life can you live from your room and how is it even possible once you get past a certain age and have to support yourself?

There is no possibility I'd be with someone like this ..

 

This definition just about fits me. I find social interaction within groups to be mentally draining... Hm, not sure if I'd date another shut-in though. Wouldn't the relationship get stale after a while? It would really depend on the person, I guess.

 

I try

I'm pretty introverted, but I'm not an agoraphobe. Some of the best solitary time is spent out in nature for me.

 

I've done it, and it worked for a while. After a few months I just got tired of always having to go out on my own or with friends.

Wasn't a complete shut-in : He could go out and have some coffee, or even a meal, but there were not many walks in the park, movies or jam sessions. I ended up bored.
I like to stay at home quite often, but there is a lot out there to see and enjoy. And doing some exercise is nice too.

 

Same here. In some ways it'd be nice, because I do like to spend time at home just relaxing, and I would love to have someone to do that with. On the other hand, though, I do like to go out sometimes, and can have a hard time making myself do so, so it would be better for me to have someone who would encourage me in that direction rather than someone who would encourage me to just stay in all the time.

 

I'm sorry but I feel like this as well:

I would get bored instantly. I love being outside, doing stuff, seeing stuff, meeting other people.

Sure, a night at home listening to music or watching a movie can be fun, but there's so much more than just your/my house.

 

what's the difference between this and an introvert lol

same, same...

 

Introverts aren't "shut-ins." I'm an introvert (which just means I find social situations draining and need time alone to recharge), but I leave my room (and, well, building) every day, several times a day. I socialize with other people, I go buy stuff, I love walking outdoors alone. Sure, I feel comfortable in my room, but I'd go mad if I had to stay inside all the time.


Anyway, I would find it hard to date a shut-in, mainly because... well, would I always have to go to their house to see them? That wouldn't make me feel like they were putting any effort into spending time with me. And I'd end up feeling suffocated, if we never saw each other outside (or only extremely rarely). Plus, I like going out in public with the person I'm seeing... And I'm not sure I could understand someone who nevers goes out. How do they live?
