Does anyone else have a strong aversion to stay at home?

[MarkKol]

There's this endless fatigue that seems to affect me when I enter my house, making it hard to work on anything. I'm 100% certain that it's psychological. I'm finding it very uninspiring and gruelling; this is a complete 180-degree turnaround from my teenage years, where I would spend 10-15 hours playing video games in my room all day. Something is telling me that I burned through my video game karma, and now I can't do it anymore, and that this depression I fall into when I'm home is a side-effect of that. The only times when this wasn't affecting me as much was when I rented an apartment in a big city overlooking a busy and noisy street. I can't say that I preferred it over being outside, but it was definitely more tolerable than living in the quiet countryside. 

All anecdotes I got when I asked people at work about this, they seem to have my teenage-boy mentality, even though they're grown men.

I can stay at home most of the time if it's big and clean enough, otherwise I have a compulsive need to go for walks in nature/countryside.

Clean your house and make it inspiring. Make it beautiful and turn it into a home.

Have little things there that has stories & meaning.

You gotta put effort into falling in love with your home. It’s your safe space. It’s your own little world.

There could be various reasons for this. One is that we humans are made to be active in nature, we are not really made to be inside much, so it’s natural some get seasonal depression or feel low when inside too much. It could be fomo, fear of missing out of activities you’re imagining you could do outside, or comparing your life with other people, or what’s possible for you. It could be you’re not very comfortable being alone with your thoughts, the inside of your apartment doesn’t give your mind enough stimuli, so whatever is going on inside becomes more obvious and it’s not comfortable. Meanwhile in the past when you played games that was a lot of stimulation to distract your mind. Just some thoughts 

It’s healthy to be outside I like to take long walks that’s something you can do so you get the recommended daily step count.
