I hope this this was the correct forum to post this in. Mods, please feel free to move it, if it belongs elsewhere.
As I sit here in my bedroom, curling my hair and listening to music, getting ready to go out tonight, a deja vu moment happened. Around this time, last year, when I was living with a roommate, I was in my room again, curling my hair. Then I thought back to college, when living both in a dorm room for my first 2 years, and then last 2 years in a townhouse with roommates, I've always enjoyed being in my bedroom whenever at home. Also while growing up in my parents home, it was the same thing; I preferred being in my room than anywhere else whenever I was home.
Thing is, I'm a social person for the most part, but when I'm home (be it parent's home, student housing, roommate, or currently living alone) I prefer being in my bedroom to "hang out". Why is that? Most people prefer hanging out in their living rooms. Hell, I hang out in living rooms at friends' houses. I don't have a TV in my bedroom, currently, only in my living room. Don't get me wrong, I hang in there whenever I want to watch tv or a movie, but more times than not, I'm in my room, either relaxing, internet browsing, playing on my phone, etc.
And this is pattern I *just* noticed at the ripe age of 30, that I've always done throughout my life. I've always preferred my bedroom. Why do you think that is? Generally, I don't tend to have the personality traits of an introvert, but perhaps the reason I'm not is because my bedroom is my "charging zone"?
Any thoughts? Similar patterns of others on here who would like to chime in?
It is your "safe zone", nothing more than that and not out of the ordinary.
When I get cold, no matter where I am I always go to bed, it is always the warmest place in the house.
It can be a bit of a challenge when visiting but I manage none the less and that is my safe zone when I am cold.
I agree with the other posters. You feel comfortable there. It is understandable that you would be happiest in your own space when you are living with roommates. I think you've simply kept that mental habit.
If you wanted to change, you could always be sure that your living area is a comfy as your bedroom is.
