Where do you go?

[***deleted***]

I only go to school and work. I am very shy and anxious at school, but people like me. I do not interact with people that well and don't hang out with anyone.
Some people know where I live and drive by my house( it is right next the busy street in town.) so they know I am home all the time.
I want to go somewhere on weekends so I don't have to tell everyone on Monday that I again did nothing on the weekend.

People liked/respected me when I was in high school, but I didn't make any new friends...

I really like your profile pic

I think you should go to a coffee shop with a book, or a lap top. You can socialize if you feel up to it, or you can bury your face in the book, and no one will bother you. Tons of people do that. If someone pesters you, you can just say that you are really trying to finish this book, or write this letter, and they will leave you alone. Plus coffee is good.

I agree. Although it's quite hard to read a book when there are people all around, it's more of secretly-people-watching... But it's helpful to sit there with your coffee, and make yourself stay until you feel comfortable.

I know it's hard to motivate yourself to go out alone, but maybe after a run or something empowering you might feeling motivated to go out alone. Do something where other people are too absorbed to speak to you or notice you, go to a movie, or check out a museum, gallery, aquarium, garden.... People may speak to you, but only about the subject at hand, which usually makes for a quick conversation easy to pass off. Or, just explore bus routes, sit on the busses like it's a tour , ha. (Make sure to know the way back though) I do this sometimes, people don't talk on the bus but it's a comfy close atmosphere that makes you feel as if you're involved.

Great memories.
I go to school and work. Work is for school, so actually just school.:: Other then that, nothing.. When not in school, I'm at home.

I never leave my house unless something VERY rare comes up or I'm going to vist my grandparents near the Gulf of Mexico.

The last time I actually left my house was when my little sister actually INVITED me to come along with her and friend to go to another friend's house and sit in thier hot tub. I had some stiff shoulders from sitting down, drawing for hours so I thought it would do me some good to go. :3

Well, first of all, pinpoint what the purpose of these outings will be. Do you want to find something enjoyable or something that will just give a good story on Monday? I would personally stick with something enjoyable, as it will give you the best chance in attracting new friends. Google is great for finding places to go. Just type in whatever you are looking for followed by your zipcode "arcade, 54321".

I personally love going to local nurseries to 'window shop'. They are usually not crowded, and plant life has a positive effect on me. Also any parks that have trails for walking. And of course, I always take my camera. Then I'm no longer just alone, I'm on a 'photo shoot'
