    Since I became unemployed I have noticed a lack of reasons too leave my home and a seriously chronic addiction to the internet.
    HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND IN YOUR ROOM?


    my room has become a mini sanctuary to all things irishlad
    xbox, laptop, beer cans, food wrappers, more deodrants than i will ever need
    and a collection of Guinness world record books i never got rid of.

    We had a thread on this a few months ago....some of the answers in there were shocking...people who had not left the room for weeks.
    I go stir crazy after a day.

    Get some exercise, or perhaps go look for a job.

    Is your own house not home?

    I can't see why you'd need any deodorant if all you do is sit on your own in your room?

    Can totally relate to you OP

    When i was on the dole i never moved of the couch unless the other half was off work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    Leaving the house is bad for you.

    You could be murdered.

    Other way around, i read somewhere that he is left handed and likes to masturbate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭lahalane


    I'm on the dole too and don't leave the house much. I don't need to. I have plenty of stuff to do here. Lots of people tell me I should leave the house more but what the hell am I meant to do? Walk around town? Boooo to that idea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 236 ✭✭davlacey


    ah sure with the internet theres no need to leave the house apart from once a month to sign on.

    In Japan (where else..) they have a word for exactly that. I don't think OP has gotten to that stage quite yet, but for some the outside world is a source of social anxiety.

    Talk about the pot calling the kettle black though. :D

    What's the point of going out? You're just gonna wind up back here anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 849 ✭✭✭IrishLad90

    Educate yourself in quiz knowledge. Sporcle.com helped me memorise all the US states, countries of the world and top Premier league goalscorers.

    I also learnt to play guitar, piano and harmonica to a basic degree.

    Learning a new language is next on my agenda although it sounds quite hard.

    +1 Sporcle. Sort of things that would only ever be useful in a pub quiz. Fun though. :D

    Kahn Academy or Coursera, I love my house, it's filled with all my favourite things (except for the hoover and mop and bucket, **** them) and nobody else is allowed to touch them, everything is where I left it, nobody is there to talk to me it's magical.

    I leave to do my course, run errands, see friends etc. but I spend far more time at home than I probably should, quite frankly I could not care less.

    I find you have to get out and see the world occasionally. So I go out to the shed and read an atlas.

    These days my house is either for cooking and eating in - or sleeping in - or shagging in.

    The rest of the time I am out working - gardening - running - cycling - at one of my classes/hobbies - visiting friends - hunting/fishing - or at the shops.
