1. Honestly, staying in is usually in your best interest financially
Nothing saves money like being antisocial.

2. But sometimes you actually consider going out and it’s a profound internal debate
TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN GOING OUT AND STAYING IN

3. It can be tough coming up with reasons not to go out
FRIEND: do u want to hang out this weekend
— Bob Vulfov (@bobvulfov) February 10, 2016
ME: generic excuse
FRIEND: did u just say "generic excuse"
4. So sometimes you have to fabricate your reason for staying in
Friend: You going out tonight?
— Tim (@Playing_Dad) January 22, 2016
Me: No
Friend: What are you gonna do?
Me: I'm having some friends over for dinner pic.twitter.com/5XnXiq5wPe
5. And sometimes you pretend to be somewhat interested in going out just to be polite
When someone is making plans you have no intention of going to, so you add "what time?" For decoration pic.twitter.com/FKIv3N9xX8

6. But other times you just straight up lie
"We have to hang out soon!"

7. But other times you agree to plans that you fully intend on going to

8. You can hope the other person doesn’t follow up with you on the plans
If we're supposed to meet up & you don't say anything on the day, I'm not going lmao.

9. Or you could rely on being busy as an excuse, even if it’s not accurate
Me: Sorry, can't go out tonight, I have so much to do

10. There’s always a chance plans will fall apart
When ur getting ready to go out to a place u dont even wanna go to but then the plans get cancelled pic.twitter.com/sKNE9vzU6S

11. But other times you can’t escape them, and you find yourself out
You ever go out, and while out, you think, "this is exactly why I don't go out"?
— Sterling Archer (@almostkanye) September 7, 2015
12. While out, you deal with nonsense like this

13. Or this

14. Or even this

15. It’ll make you wish you’d just been brutally honest to begin with
“Doing anything fun this weekend?!!!”
— Jenna Ezarik (@jennaezarik) September 12, 2015
Yeah. Sleeping.
16. Like, BRUTALLY honest
Sorry I can't come to your party this weekend, I mean, I probably can but I really don't want to.
— Eden Dranger (@Eden_Eats) November 15, 2016
17. And afterwards you’re left imagining the great lengths you could go to, to get out of plans in the future
Can someone tell me the exact crime I need to commit to get put on house arrest because legally having to cancel plans sounds incredible
