    Pizza in oven. Beer in hand…planning to watch the game here at home and maybe potter around cleaning in between quarters.

    I did want to go down to the local for the atmosphere but damn I am in pretty urgent need of introvert time. Went out this morning and managed to lose my favourite shopping bags on the bus among other brainfog disasters. Internet friends could someone tell me that’s ok to stay here on my own and it doesn’t make me a loser?

      You are not a loser at all! I dislike going to the pub for GF, too loud, too many people, too chaotic. Then it gets rowdy.

      It is acceptable and 100% reasonable and okay to stay home!!

      I think it’s fine to watch from home. I don’t really understand the appeal of going to watch the game somewhere unless you’re meeting people there.

      Enjoy the comfort of your own home and the ability to do things for yourself whilst there

      I’m doing alone time as well.

      Busy week coming up, so I’m introverting in advance knowing that it’s not going to stop for about the next eight days once it starts. I feel okay with this

      I was invited to a house party but have chosen to stay home with the dog and do washing and I’m not a loser so neither are you.

      I’m sad about your bags. I’ve had that happen to me and I cried.

        Oh I am devastated! That’s the problem with not being a shopaholic. Everything I own is special.

        Thanks mate. Just had a moment of mind worms. All good now

      It is more than perfectly ok to stay and watch the game alone.

      Nothing about it makes you a loser.

      Im doing the same thing as I’ve done most years and I’m perfectly happy doing it.

      Just enjoy yourself and the peace and quiet or if you barrack for them scream as loud as you want.

      It’s your right to do so and not to feel bad about it.

      Do not feel bad because there’s nothing wrong with doing it!

      As an ME/CFS long hauler, I speak from my own experience in strongly suspecting that with that amount of brain fog, if you went down the local you’d be hiding in the loo to get away from the noise by the first goal.
      Better to stay home and enjoy than go out and not enjoy.

        This is very true. I have been wanting more social interaction lately but I have also been unwell and brain body just saying ‘no’. Thanks.
