I often would rather stay home as well. I attribute it to loseritis, and it's not a good thing to have 😀
EDIT: On second thought it's actually called "getting old". Most older people don't want to go out. I used to love to and like to less now. I'd rather have people over or go to somebody's house, but going out and paying vast sums to drink or get into a bar, etc. isn't fun to me most of the time.

I also don't want to go out. If I go out, my parents make me feel bad because I could have been studying. "YOU WON'T GET INTO MED SCHOOL IF YOU KEEP GETTING B's ON YOUR ESSAYS!" they say. But it's not my fault, the TA seems to give everyone randomly bad marks to keep the average where they want it.
AAARRRRGGGHHH I HATE MY LIFE
Edit: I'm slightly younger than you (20) and in a rather competitive program (life sciences, specifically genetics, leading to medicine -- hopefully).

Yeah, cost is not my main concern but it's a huge issue.. how do these hip 20s somethings afford their lifestyle?? My cousin just moved to the city and invites me to some pretty nice clubs - the last place he took me to sold me a drink for $12 .. $12!!! for one drink.. sigh..

You're probably just anti-social with perhaps a little social anxiety and depression. I'm a bit anti-social and don't go out often. I'd rather just stay home with my boyfriend. Everyone's different, but if you dislike the way you are then you should talk to someone.
"Actually being anti-social is a little different than not wanting to go out of your house. I'd say it's social-anxiety disorder. Anti-social goes hand in hand with being a sociopath/psychopath."
You're right, Nocturnal! Anti-social is distinct from shyness or undesiring of meeting people. It is in fact synonymous with sociopath and psychopath. However, people, including supposedly educated people, misuse the term. Maybe soon it will be added to mean a loner too.

Hey,
I am the guy that directs student films.. I actually used to have a hard time directing people (especially since most actors are god damn beautiful - actors as in the PC term for both sexes).... I've only recenlty gotten over that and have become fairly comfortable with actors .. lots of directors are social retards but they just get in the "zone" while they're working with actors.. the trick is that you have to think of them as employees (or cattle as hitchcock said)..
BS!
I didn't care to "go drinking" when I was in my teens, and I don't care to now... well past forty! I got dragged to concerts back in the day. It's nice to say i got to see Bowie, Genesis (with Peter Gabrial), Floyd and all the rest, but at the time it was quite a hassle. Car got broken into once, brother got lost in Cleveland, on foot and on acid. Yeah, great times.
To this day I can't figure out why people pour tens of thousands of dollars into their homes, with pools, pool tables, home theaters and bars, but when they get vacation time, all they want to do is take off away from home! 😕 Not me. Never did want to, never will much enjoy it. We've got it all right here, and for a great price. Hell, most everything at home is already paid for. Might as well kick back and enjoy it. Sheesh!

Agreed. If he dislikes partying now what makes you guys think he will regret not doing it later on in life? There is nothing wrong with being an introvert, he has a steady relationship that's lasted 7 years I think he is fine....he has mentioned he has friends etc.
If he sat at home all day with no friends and no life then yes he might have social anxiety disorder but I really doubt it in this case.
I never spend more than 15 bucks when I go out...the key is 1 of the following:
Get a large thing of cranberry juice, more than a gallon(6 bucks), get a large handle of really cheap vodka, get some ice, and down 4 or 5 of these half and half before you go out...you might need 1 or 2 drinks at the bar to maintain your buzz
Get a friggin 40...those things are great, a steel reserve will give you a healthy buzz and you can buy a beer or 2 at most at the club...all for 1.50. We used to have something called a 40 ounce summer where all we did was drink 40's and go out. We ended up saving all the bottles and I think between 4 of us we had a wall of over 200 40's....

It ain't even so much the money CrazyDe1, it's just all the hyperactivity and stupidness. I remember once for example, buying a pitcher of beer, drinking it out of plastic cups, then a couple of the guys go outside and puke on the side of the building. Then, they come back inside and drink some more. Hey, what's not to like? I won't even mention the loud noise that's supposed to pass for music and the smoke filled air. Checking your wallet every few minutes to make sure nobody lifted it. Trying to find tables to sit at... wonderful, just wonderful...
It's cool...to each his own. I like to go out sometimes and sometimes I don't. Personally, I think you only have limited opportunities to be stupid and go out and just have fun. I mean, once you get to be 30 it's kind of weird going to a college bar or a club, might as well enjoy it while I can. Besides, at least you got a great story to tell out of it...
