How do I explain to my friends why I never sleep over?

I’m feeling really bad right now. I had plans to stay 2 nights at my friends house, knowing that I hate sleeping over at other peoples houses. I got there and stayed till midnight then got my dad to go get me because I just wanted to come home. I feel so bad because every time this happens my friends think they did something wrong. I really like hanging out with her, I was having a lot of fun but I started getting tired and just wanted to come home. I just for some reason hate staying the night anywhere that isn’t home. My parents feel kind of happy about it because it makes them realize how much I love being in my home. Does anybody else have this problem too? How can I explain to my friends so they don’t feel at fault for this?

Answer #1

Yeah just tell them how it is. You love them but just don’t feel comfortable sleeping anywhere away from home.

I can fall asleep virtually anywhere. It’s nuts.

Answer #2

I used to have that exact same problem when I was younger. its totally normal just say you want to go home.say you dont feel good like you have a headache or take a sleeping pill so you pass out. sooner or later it will pass and you will be able to sleepover at ppls houses. dont worry about it

Answer #3

Well maybe your just so close to home that you get home sick and feel awkward at there house.myabe start to have them stay at your house instead. I used to have that problem when I was little.

I have that same problem just say hey I love spending time with ya but I just like being home I do the same thing but with my cousins and they make me sleep on the floor.just tell it like it is and if they get mad that you arent comfortable at other houses than there not a very good friend and also I feel so bad because I had really bad experiences at my cousins so now I cant sleep over my friends it stinks a lot

Answer #8

just tell em like it is…you have a tough time sleeping well away from home. no big deal! lots of people have trouble getting comfy in a bed that isnt their own. or worse, on a sofa or floor!

Answer #9

OMG. I have the SAME problem. I never like sleeping at other people’s houses because I feel as iff something could happen when, im not home. it started when I was a kid. (sleeping at the neighbors) im 14 now. and I still cant sleep at peoples houses except my best friend.. I always call home sick. I havent had a sleepover at anyones house for years.. my sister tells me its a waste of a childhood. but trust me it isnt.. why would you wanna sleep at someones house when you feel like dieing,, it kills inside to feel that way.. I understand how you feel. I dont have any other problemss..exept sleepovers. I always thought something was wrong with me, until I discovered that I am who I am, and only a friend who is fake wouldnt under stand. my friends still dont know to this day because im not brave to tell. but I wish I had the courage.

Answer #10

I have the same thing. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s a disease or something.like, just tonight my boyfriend asked me to spend the night and at first I said yes, but then after like, an hour I said that I’ll probraly do it some other time not tonight.it’s coplemented with me.usaully I come up with an excuse like “not tonight, I have a belly ache and feel sick”.she said that if I don’t want to sleep over then to tell her but I don’t like to hurt her feelings.I hope you have corage to tell her and I wish you a LOT of luck.

Answer #11

You should just explaint this to your friends. I do however feel there could be an underlying problem though. Have you tried to speak to someone about it? Your young now so its ok but you dont want to live with the folks all your life and while its a little problem now it could become something bigger if not looked into. Your still a bub so dont stress. Kids like there own suroundings its ok. Your friends will be fine about it. Hey have them sleep at your house??

Answer #12

Just tell her or him that its not the same and maybe they will understand and maybe can help you
