View submission: What misunderstandings have you faced because of minimalism?
People think I’m antisocial because I carefully pick how I use my free time and with whom I spend time. Spending 4 hours shopping is not on my list of things I’m doing for fun. People think I’m cheap because I don’t eat out much. I usually work out early in the morning so I hardly ever drink. People don’t like this either.
It’s a pretty good lifestyle to find out who my friends are and who are just side players in my life.

I can relate to that. People love to project their idea of what’s “normal fun,” but honestly, I’d much rather spend my time intentionally—whether it’s working out, chilling with a few close friends, or just not wasting time at all. As for the eating out thing, it’s just not my vibe either. It’s nice when you find out who’s really down for your lifestyle and who’s just along for the ride.
