Going outside

Going outside means fresh air, obviously. Just sticking to indoors stuff means you won't be getting anywhere and since you do all that stuff, you're good going. Improving in those areas that you deem important, so it's good.

I'm sure if you set some time apart and go to a place, like a gym/park/church, you'd find some people who are interested in doing similar activities as you do. I hear there's even clubs for all sorts of stuff.
Build conversation off a common interest, chat them up, get to know them better.. and you might be well on your way to developing meaningful relationships.

People are giving you glib advice because many people with social inadequacies DO tend to be loners, and your friends are playing the odds by guessing that's your problem.

But it can have deeper meanings that might apply to you even if you are "outside". It can mean "Look outside yourself." It is possible to do all the things you do and still be so inward-focused that you don't connect to the outside world.

"Go outside" might mean "Reach out to others" Don't just passively interact with others, but reach out to them, looking for enrichment and meaning to your life through others.

Have you ever invited old friends to anything? Made an effort to make new friends? Joined clubs? Sought out hobbies or activities that would involve you with people? Done charity work?

People only say this to me on the internet though. And it's usually advice to the effect of "You're a man, you have to go outside and give women attention because you're a man."

Also, "you're a man, so the world is inherently awesome and easy for you, just go outside and see haha."

I'm not sure why people get so hysterical and forceful about this topic with me and other people. It's annoying. I don't complain about people not validating me, usually it's people on the internet who bring this up when I disagree with them in an argument.

Well, what do you want, then?
if you're comfortable as is, you can safely nod and ignore them.
If they're giving you crap for not living up to their personal standards, just ignore.

I mean, it's not like you actually need to know why. They all have their reasons.

If you actually want women, you do have to put yourself out there and connect with them. Culturally, men have the obligation to pursue, nothing you can do about that. It takes a lot of persistence.
