You don’t need a reason to like being home. Some people just love their own couch.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Liking your own place is not a condition that needs explaining, though people treat it as one, usually by asking what else you could be doing. Some of us genuinely restore in our own rooms, and a sofa is not a consolation prize for having nowhere to go. The assumption that a good night happens elsewhere is a habit rather than a fact.

Stop producing reasons. Staying in because you want to is a complete answer, and it travels better than an invented clash. Then make the evening actually good instead of merely empty, so you are choosing it rather than defaulting into it.
