I live alone with my two cats. I have two bedrooms, two baths, and a pretty open living room and kitchen. When I have people over, no matter what we’re doing, I usually go straight to my bedroom. I hate being in my living room it feels too open and I just feel so uncomfortable in there. I’ve been trying to add things that will make me comfortable but I hate spaces that are too open. Some people find it weird that I’m uncomfortable in my OWN living room but I just can’t figure out why. I hate it in there and it looks really nice. I don’t even sit on my couch either, I sit on the floor if I’m ever in there.

I also don’t allow/ hate people being in my kitchen too. It’s too vulnerable and it’s not always clean if I’m being honest. I hate being in there too long so washing dishes and keeping up is really hard. It’s a pretty big kitchen too, so I think that’s another “open space” thing.

I wonder if anyone else has this problem? Everyone tells me it’s weird and I wish I could shake it but it’s really hard to
