Hermit [2008-05-08]
When I worked outside the home, I was very sociable. However, I have noticed a change in my personality to the point of not wanting to go the grocery store because you have to deal with people. I think it is a direct result of being at home all the time. Time to get out of the house.

I'll third that. The original poster described me to a T. I've always been shy and reticent around people, but since I started working at home 15 years ago it's gotten 100 times worse. I'm a Hermit now, also. I know I have a genetic tendency toward this, but I believe the less time spent with people the less comfortable I am with them. It's a matter of keeping those social muscles exercised.

I had the same thing after starting working from home. Three years ago I went back to school, I have to become more sociable and not a Hermit. It gets to you after awhile. You don't fit in with those who work outside the home and not with the stay at home moms because you do have a job and hours to work. It is hard, but you can figure out what works for you and go with it.
