cocoonista

Cocoonista is a term used to describe a lifestyle characterized by a deliberate withdrawal from society and a focus on creating a comfortable, private, and secure personal environment. It often involves a preference for staying home, engaging in solitary activities, and minimizing social interactions. This retreat into a personal "cocoon" can be a conscious choice driven by various factors, including a desire for peace and quiet, a need to recharge, or a way to cope with external stressors.

The concept is not necessarily about complete isolation but rather about curating one's social life and environment to prioritize personal well-being and comfort. A cocoonista might enjoy activities like reading, watching movies, pursuing hobbies, or engaging with digital content from the safety and familiarity of their home. While the term can sometimes carry negative connotations of reclusiveness or social avoidance, it can also represent a healthy form of self-care and a way to reclaim personal time and energy in an increasingly demanding world. The extent to which someone identifies as a cocoonista can vary, ranging from occasional periods of reduced social activity to a more sustained lifestyle choice.
