Why don't I like going anywhere?

Question

I like to get invited places by my friends but once i say yeah i'll go I have this like dread about going. Like before i say for sure if i'm going i tell my friends i have to ask my parents and while that's happening i get really excited to go to the event but once my parents say yes i don't want to go. I use to hate going places cus my parents fought alot & i was afraid something would happen. But i'm over that now so it must be something else.

Answer 1

Perhaps you've got agoraphobia. Maybe you should talk to your parents or doctor about this and see if you can get some help from a doctor or a psychologist.

Also sometimes depression can make you not really want to do things that you used to like doing so if you feel down in other ways you might want to think about this. Either way it's quite likely that it would be a good idea to talk to someone professionally qualified if it is threatening to mess up your life.  

Answer 2

It sounds like you might have a form of anxiety. I suffered from similar feelings and problems when I was a teenager. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression when I was 14.

I'm still not very social but that's more because I don't have the time to be but now, if I want to go out with friends, I don't feel that same dread and fear as I did before.

I'm on medication and I've had help from therapists in the past. They helped with techniques you can use to help you not freak out in certain situations, which is awesome.

Maybe, see your doctor or talk to your parents about it. You're not alone. X

I used to feel like that too. It was because I was insecure about myself and also had anxiety.

Usually when I went  to the party or event I ended up having a good time and was glad I did.

Give it a chance and go anyway, you might be surprised at how quickly you will enjoy getting out.

Answer 4

I used to be like that, well actually i am still like that. I can actually relate. It might be some type of anxiety i guess. Just go anyways, you will probably be really surprised to know how you enjoyed yourself. It might still be that you do have that fear that something is going to happen and about your parents, maybe not as strongly as before, but still there. You might also be some other problem that you might be encountering like you being busy with other things that you have to do, work, friends. So just try to relax and have fun

Answer 5

It used to happen to me. Before I used to remain in my house most of the time playing games... I got invited out places and usually said no.

I've stopped the games altogether now and began saying yes to invites, the first few times I was nervous just before I was about to go, when I arrived everything was fine though and I enjoyed myself.

Keep accepting invites and going to them, you'll soon get over it and you'll notice that those feelings stop!
