    So 100% of the ones you know have no problems leaving the house and functioning?

    That doesnt sound like a very fair sample

      I did say that’s just been my experience and I did say that people with legitimate problems are different. The cases I’ve seen are spouses or partners who don’t work but their partner has to do the work of two people or kids living with their parents well into their 40s and don’t ever try to support themselves. I’ve known some people who bounce from couch to couch until the person they’re staying with get’s sick of them never contributing and kicks them out. Sometimes they do eventually become self sufficient and sometimes they find someone who’s willing to support them and marry them never having to lift a finger. I doubt I’d ever be in the position to meet a real shut in who can’t leave their house because they legitimate problems or have been traumatized so this has just been my experience.
