That was a hard one (but a good one). I voted "I like or dislike both equally.*"
I'll likely ramble in my attempt to explain. For one, my mind and my body are often at odds. Part of spina bifida for most of us is a finicky bowel and bladder, so special thought needs to be given towards eating and drinking in relation to my scheduled daily activities. So, my body may not be in a good position to go out even though my brain is all "Go, go, go". Unpleasant dichotomy.
As well, I just have a tough time with people. Either people that make comments (even well intended ones) about the way I walk or do anything else, or just clingy people, which I get a lot of (as most of us, regardless of ability, occasionally get).
But, as I said, sometimes in my mind, I do want to go out, and if I can groom my body to cooperate, then that all has the makings of a good day.
For me, I think being 100% social butterfly and 100% hermit are equally bad. You need to give yourself a break from whatever it is you were doing before, indoors or out.
