Honestly, I think the worst part is feeling like you can't go outside.

I voluntarily go days (sometimes more than a week) without leaving the house because I honestly like being at home (books, video games, wife and kids, etc). I don't feel like U need as much social stimulation as others.

My wife is pretty much the same way, but she gets really down when she cannot leave the house (e.g. when she has a newborn and I'm at work). Just having the ability to leave, even if she doesn't take advantage of it, is enough for her.

I wonder whether being at home for days on end is the problem, or just the feeling that you can't or shouldn't leave the house? If it's the latter, we could probably recommend safe activities instead of focusing on banning/discouraging unsafe ones.
