#firstworldproblems

So my parents like to take me on "vacations." (If you can call them that)
They force me to go with them on these trips to places I don't want to go.
Why? Because they think it's unhealthy for me to stay inside too long.
(Because apparently being an introvert is a disease)
So I went to this water park. Sounds fun, right? Not for me. I was tired and wanted to sleep the entire time because I could never get to sleep on the shitty hotel beds.
I could do nothing but watch Netflix or Youtube while tired for hours and everybody else was asleep.
That kind of horrible experience is not worth it just to ~hang out with the family~ or ~familee memoreez~
But my mom and dad just say "I'm being negative." "Look at the positive."

I'm very picky with beds so switching to a different bed is a death sentence to sleep.
I tried to tell my parents this would happen but they just say "You need to go outside" "You need to ~join the family~" even though I would rather be disappointed I didn't go than have a sleepless night at a place I don't want to go to.
A vacation for me would be to stay home.

I know this might be selfish or whatever but I don't ever go to public places. There's no reason for me to. I only know people mostly because they're my relatives. Not friends.
While food at a place can be nice I don't enjoy having these stupid small talk conversations with people I don't really know, and having nothing to do.

I'm 17 and my mom says I'm old enough to stay at home so it's not that lol
They only force me to go certain places occasionaly. (One of the arguments they use is they don't force me enough -_-)

I would really like to hear other people's opinions about this.
My mom says I'm becoming a "hermit."
Should I force myself to go outside and to public places more?
I'm shy and socially awkward so it's hard to talk to other people.

Well, in a year you won't have to listen to your parents, so just go outside till you're 18. ;)
In all seriousness, it probably isn't good to be inside your whole life, so maybe you should get a bicycle and ride it around. :P

That's not really an option since the tempatures have gotten really low recently.
Hopefully I can get an Elliptical trainer to get my fat ass some exercise.

Well, I always enjoyed the outside. I always had lots of friends so it may bee different for you. While I had plenty of friends I also had the "cool" kids picking on me (until I scared them till they shut up). I always stayed inside, though instead of going out and riding my bike with my friends. One day I saw some cool things at the dumpster so I brought some friends over and pulled it apart. I turned it into a weapon that can destroy many materials in sefonds. Around this time I began staying outside more. So maybe you should go outside and dumpster dive until you have enough materials to build a weapon. :lol:

Also, now (this guy wasn't ever really mean to me, it's just funny) I can pretend to pull something out of my pocket, point my hand at him, pretend to press a button and make some fake noises with my mouth and he will freak out. :P

lol. I've seen lots of dumpster dive finds on Youtube and it kinda makes me want to dumpster dive myself. I like repurposing or selling old consoles/computers that nobody wants.
(I ask people for stuff like that alot lol)
Although it does seem dangerous.
Maybe I could find enough materials to build The Like Cannon 2.0 :P

Code: 
if Controls.check(pad,KEY_TOUCH) and not Controls.check(oldpad,KEY_TOUCH) then
                tx,ty = Controls.readTouch()
                if tx >= x and tx <= x+48 and ty >= y and ty <= y+48 then
You can make an online soup of images and text if you cannot fall asleep.

Can doing sports be an option for you? I'm not talking about hardcore competitive or anything, but how about recreational, drop-in, or maybe something at school? Any type of exercise is good to do, although I just find sports more fun, you know.

What about band? It isn't outside, but it is a way to meet some people. Well, if your school has a band, that is.

@Margen67. You know in life when you get that feeling inside your just different somehow and you feel sometimes like exploding?, it may make you feel different than your brother or sister, just somehow you know you are inside than others??! your searching for that little extra in life but it cannot be found and anywhere and everywhere you go or do in life you try hard to fit in but you just don't! its hard that way I know exactly how you feel I felt just the same when I was younger between the ages of 11 & 17, I felt trapped in life!, angry sometimes a tad bit violent outrages inside. I took that piece of my life and put it into music cause that was the only thing I truly did love from a very young age, bought my first set of decks @ just 13 went into producing Drum N Bass a few years later and I have never looked back since! it was my way out of a life of trouble cause it would of happened soon enough to me, you can do the same, you just need to find your inner you and find out what makes you tick in the right directions. I'm sure eventually you will find happiness, it just takes a lot of time and frustration in between but you will get there in the end, trust me!

What country are you in? [no specifics]
I am trying to get a picture of typical culture in the area you live in.

I did this for a while, and still kind of do it. My friends are simmiliar in this asspect too (they stay inside most of the time too), but since we started doing drugs we started going outside more too. And tbh it's not that bad outside.

Now maybe doing drugs isn't quite the anwser but he, going outside shouldn't be that bad. Though you should just start slow becuase if you just start going outside a ton it will be akward and weird, you will have to get used to it, but once you do it makes a lot of other social things less difficult (atleast it did for me)

I pretty much feel the same. The only times I go out are during the night so I can avoid people.

I hate peoples. When I was 7, I moved alot. One day, in my new school, I invited everyone to my birthday party (I was like "Yay! A great oppurtinity to have new friends"). No one came. I waited 4hours in front of the window. Since this day, I never talked to anyone else. I stay in my house and everyone calls me "the weird guy".

@jonthedit USA.
@Reecey I would feel better if I could perform math at my grade level. Sometimes I feel like a failure.
I dropped out of school because it was too stressful and I just couldn't focus.
I'm trying to do homeschool but I just don't have enough motivation to do it consistently.
I feel bad about not being good at math but I find learning it quite boring. It's an endless cycle.

@Margen67 I don't want to here that crap from you about not trying at school and you feel like a failure, that's only you who thinks that, no one else! I stress this, you must put 110% into school work, College, Uni etc.. because if you don't that wont be getting you that top job, it wont be buying you that top of the range Mercedes and it certainly won't be buying you that dream house you want! so all I want to here from you in the future is "I am putting everything into my educational life and anything less, is a failure to me!" you only get out of life what you are prepared to put in and you only get one chance at that, don't blow it!

Ah Reecey. Such small goals ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I doubt Margen67 is interested in any of that based on his op. However, I do agree that it is necessary to put effort into school to get the papers.
I feel once I have the paper / even during the university life (as I am now), then I can focus on learning things I care about. Sure some of the topics I couldn't care less about- but I still put an effort to get the maximum grades in the classes. It is boring to me, yes, but I am aware it effects how I am viewed in scale of success by employers.
