Hermits of Reddit, what are your reasons for hardly ever going out? [Serious]

Throwaway for whatever reason, Don't feel bad about myself really but don't feel like being linked to stigma.

27 Year old guy here who been on a steady decline over the years of not leaving the property and am currently at 3 times since the start of 2015.

It stems from a series of circumstances over my life dating back to early childhood, Nothing horribly tragic but if laid out in full it makes sense on one hand but on the other doesn't at all.

But to the facts. I roughly did all the things kids do, Played sports, Had friends and sleep overs etc. Partied in my teens, Did a lot of gaming, Lost my virginity when I was 16 or 17, Worked a few jobs.

Bottom line though is I have never been on "The Straight and Narrow", I know the events in my life and people around me have effected this but I also haven't done much to change things, Maybe it's because that is how I actually want to live or if it is how I was molded to be? I wonder about this sometimes.

In my early 20s is when things started to go from a little off the tracks to beating my own path, What social life (IRL) that had been dwindling over time had dried up on it's own due to inactivity and I really didn't care or think about it.

From there the number of people I talked to online also declined to the point where real social interaction aside from my household (which is also fairly limited) can also be counted at a snails pace.

Hobbies which continue to evolve over time took a little more of a role in my life but nothing I am truly obsessed about along with just being content to not really doing anything at all sometimes.

I wouldn't say I live the most healthy lifestyle as there is self medicating in some aspects and some behavior as a result that might be seen as odd + missing out on certain life skills that can only be gained from living an active life "In the system".

At the end of the day though if you met me at random I don't think I would come across different from anyone else, I can talk to anyone about anything and consider myself cordial in social situations but have never felt much need for them.
