HOMEBODY

When a person is referred to as a  homebody then the person is the type who prefers pleasures and activities that center around the home, in a nutshell, they are the stay-at-home kind of person.

Being a homebody can be difficult for some people, not only can they feel awkward and uncomfortable going out but they must resist the pressure of friends who want to go out all the time. Some people think homebodies are weird because they stay a lot of time in their rooms or at time, some other people think they are hard to approach or anti-social but that isn't true, they are only selective in their schedule and values their time.

So let's look at some homebodies signs:

1. Most of their best days are spent alone.

2. They love to meditate alone.

3. They prefer to read books when thay are at home.

4. They prefer social media over physical interaction.

5. They like to devote their time alone to accelerate their personal development

6. They devote most of their time on thinking about their life.

 According to Hirsch, there are four (4) types of homebodies and we will be looking into them.

1. The Entertainer: This set of people thrive on contact with other people and love to play host. They are always with high energy when they are in a home.

2. The Scientist: These people are inquisitive in nature, they always want to know how things work and wants to understand the world around them from a functional standpoint. This set of people are more controlled, though they like interacting with other people, they need that quiet place to work and solitude.   

3. The Nurturer: This set of people are keenly aware of others and are highly motivated to care for them.

4. The Philosopher: These people are deep thinkers, who like interacting with others if the conversation is stimulating but need a good deal of time to but need a good deal of time to be alone with their thoughts.

    If you are in a relationship with a homebody and you really want to make things work out between you too, then you to understand that;

1. They love to have their privacy and they don't like it when people disturb them when they want to have their own moment.

2. Creating excuses for not going out is an art for them.

3. They are not anti-social, they are selectively social. That means if they don't relate with your friends, they don't fake it and they won't waste their time with people that don't matter to them.
