The urban dictionary defines the term 'homebody' as: (Noun), a person who enjoys the warmth and simple pleasures of being at home. That definition is pretty much spot on. As the popular saying goes, “Home is where is the heart is.” A home is a comfort zone; it is a place where someone can be at total ease and relaxation. It is the feeling you get at school before heading back for break. It is the smell of a home-cooked meal. And it is the sight of familiar faces you love and enjoy the company of.
If you find yourself craving the comforts of your home, or if you simply love to be home more than the average kid, you’re probably a homebody.
20 Signs You're a Total Homebody
1) You often find yourself thinking of extra creative reasons why you are deciding to sit home at night instead of going out. I.e. “I need to clean my room. Yes it is going to take four hours.”
2) Who says sweatpants aren’t cute or trendy? HELLO, it’s called comfy casual people.
3) Speaking of sweats, the sweatshirt + sweatpants jumpsuit you wear about four times a week is also super stylish.
4)Your friends come to you first when debating a new show to watch on Netflix. After all, what show haven’t you watched yet?!
5) Speaking of Netflix, the ultimate struggle of finding a new and interesting show to watch on there is exhausting...so you’ve pretty much resorted to illegally downloading movies or going on projectfreetv.com and watching more ads than actual TV episodes.
6) Who even goes out to eat anymore? The local sushi place is on speed-dial, and you wouldn’t want it any other way.
7) You know the real reason why dogs are man’s best friend: they indulge in life’s greatest pleasures. Cuddling, eating, and sleeping.
8) Nature is overrated. Why go out when you can just watch National Geographic, the Travel Channel, or Animal Planet? And everyone knows Shark Week is only fun because you can watch it in the comfort of your own home.
9) You’ve (sometimes) mastered the art of canceling plans last minute without feeling the angered wrath of your friends.
10) …Or they just have given up on inviting you out every night.
11) Having total FOMO when seeing an insta pic of all your best friends out with the classic caption, “love my girls.” Just kidding, your Chipotle in bed is so much more satisfying than vodka coming back up the wrong way.
12) “Why didn’t you answer my call last night?” “Sorry, I ended up passing out at like 10.”
13) You look forward to the weekend due to the sole reason of being able to sleep in late.
14) You’re obviously super tech-savvy. Spending hours on your computer doesn’t constitute for nothing.
15) Your laptop has overheated and burned your thighs way more than the physical sun could ever.
16) You live close enough to school that you can come home for a weekend if need be. And yes, you do indulge in this privilege.
17) On the rare occasions you do venture out of your nest, the drunk munchies arise a little ahead of schedule. But that’s no problem. You’ve got the Campco delivery guys number and are already ordering the usual on the way home.
18) Once eating your perfectly timed takeout, you start to realize that the only reason you go out is to order drunk food. Guilt-free and for some reason tastes so much better.
19) You've found crumbs in your bed before. And yes, you are too ashamed to admit this.
20) “No, I’m not bored. I’m relaxed.”
