There's nothing like being an introvert during fall.

Whether you live in New York, Los Angeles, or some random town in the Midwest, no one can argue that fall is the best season, especially for those of us who hate going outside. If I could, I would have stayed home all day, every day. But I have to admit, I do feel better about stepping outside my cozy home when I know I won't be met with extreme weather, cold or hot.

That still doesn't mean I don't try to avoid as many social gatherings as I can. Fall, as mentioned, is cozy season. It's the time of year to pull out the fuzzy blankets, crank up the heating, and not move an inch from the bed. We try not to think about work, money, or other mundane tasks, and simply immerse ourselves in the simple enjoyments of life, like good books or comfort movies.

So when someone asks me if I want to go out, I have already prepared a list of fall-related excuses to ensure I stay home and enjoy my time away from society. And after a summer full of activities and people, I know for a fact that I have earned this, just as I and every introvert out there have earned these memes below.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy the falling of the leaves, the first rain of the season, and the smell of pumpkin spice lattes from the comfort of our own homes. Sure, some houses might already be decorated for Halloween, and some people are really excited about taking their kids out for trick-or-treating, but that's still not enough of a reason to step outside. We can find ways to celebrate Halloween and enjoy the holiday spirit from inside without having to trouble ourselves with other people and the social responsibilities of being outside.
I love Halloween. I love coming up with creative costumes and dressing up my cats in sweet little outfits. But I can still do that and stay home. All that really matters is the pictures I take anyway, so who cares if the background is of some random decorated house or my own little spooky living room?
Scrolling through these introvert memes validates my feelings even more, as I hope they validate yours. There is a whole community of people out there who want nothing to do with others, and we should love and respect those feelings just as we do anything else. After all, someone has to stay home on Halloween so when kids come knocking on their door, they can hand them candy. Why shouldn't it be people who have no interest in being outside anyway?
You don't even have to talk to anyone, you can simply leave the bowl outside and refill the sweets every hour. If it's good enough for the kids, it's good enough for me.
