If you're feeling bored at home and have exhausted all your Netflix options, I've got your back, my fellow introvert!
I've compiled a list of 150 absolutely fun things for introverts that will keep you entertained and mentally stimulated.
Yes, you heard that right -150! That's more activities than the number of times your cat has meowed at you today (or maybe not, if you have a talkative cat like some people).
Who needs the outside world when you have an endless supply of fun activities for introverts right at your fingertips?
Need some fun for home activities? Grab a cozy blanket, your favorite snack, and let's get started on this introvert-approved journey of self-discovery and entertainment.
1. Read a book:
You know how sometimes you get so lost in a book that you forget to eat, sleep, or even go to the bathroom? Yeah, me too. There's just something magical about getting lost in a good book. Who needs a fancy vacation when you can have a mini one right from your couch?
2. Watch a movie:
You know what's better than watching a movie? Watching a movie with a giant bowl of popcorn. It's like a little party in your living room. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to escape reality for a few hours and pretend to be a superhero or a wizard?
3. Listen to a podcast:
Podcasts are like having a conversation with your best friend, except you don't have to worry about them interrupting you. And let's be honest, listening to true crime podcasts is basically a rite of passage these days.
4. Play a video game:
Remember when we used to judge people for playing video games? Yeah, times have changed. Want some fun things to do with your friends at home? Video games are a great way to relieve stress and forget about the real world for a little while. Plus, you get to be a superhero or a dragon or a pirate. What's not to love
5. Write in a journal:
Sometimes you just need to vent, and that's what journals are for. It's like having a therapist, but without the co-pay. And who knows, maybe one day your teenage angst will be worth millions when you become a famous author.
6. Draw or paint a picture:
You don't have to be Picasso to create something beautiful. Just grab some art supplies and let your creativity flow. And hey, even if it turns out to be a stick figure, it's still a masterpiece in your eyes.
7. Work on a puzzle:
Puzzles are like a metaphor for life. You start with a bunch of pieces that don't make sense, but with a little patience and perseverance, you can create something beautiful. Plus, it's a great excuse to avoid socializing for a little while.
8. Listen to music:
Music has the power to make us feel invincible. Whether you're singing in the shower or dancing around the house, there's just something about music that lifts our spirits and makes us feel alive.
9. Take a nap:
You know what they say, "naptime is the new happy hour". Sometimes the best way to recharge is to just close your eyes and dream away. And hey, if you drool a little on your pillow, that just means you're really relaxed.
10. Meditate:
Meditation is like hitting the reset button for your brain. It's a great way to reduce stress and clear your mind. And who knows, maybe one day you'll be able to chant "om" in public without feeling self-conscious.
11. Do some yoga:
