There are people who don’t enjoy leaving their homes.
Not because they’re sad or unfriendly, but because within their own space, they find peace.
Their room is a small universe where everything has meaning: the quiet, the light streaming through the window, the scent of freshly brewed coffee.
They only step outside when they truly must.
They do what needs to be done and come back quickly — without unnecessary words.
Not out of fear, but out of weariness: the world can be too loud sometimes.
They have one, maybe two real friends — and that’s enough.
Their phone is almost always on silent.
No calls, no expectations, no pressure to reply.
They can scroll through social media for hours without writing or commenting.
They observe.
They listen.
They live in a gentle, ongoing conversation with themselves.
They love morning coffee, a book read slowly, the sound of rain, and music that fills the room softly.
And by their side — a cat or a dog, who needs no words to understand everything.
People call them “weird,” “closed,” “complicated,” “asocial.”
But they’re not.
They’re simply different.
They’ve learned to be at peace with themselves,
to find serenity where others find boredom,
to choose silence when the world shouts.
Because for them, happiness isn’t a noisy celebration.
It’s an ordinary evening, a warm cup of coffee, an open book —
and the deep comfort of not needing to be anywhere else.
