Why do people feel the need to go out Motzei Shabbat?

I don’t go out because-

I have no where to go
No grandparents alive and I hate crowded, noisy places

I started to dislike going out anywhere at night, especially in the cold...
I don’t like going out in the dark and cold to pta, weddings, Mikva ... I go if I have to obviously but if I don’t have to I would so rather stay home

I’m usually out most of the day on Sunday doing errands, driving my kids around.... I am very happy to just stay in if I can on motzei shabbos

My 6 year old son has school on Sunday. If we go out on motzei shabbos he will likely be tired on Sunday.

My 12 year old daughter recently discovered that people run out after havdallah. She was begging me to take her o-u-t. I explain that if I HAVE to go somewhere then I’ll go but since there’s no need I just don’t want to. I told her I don’t mind driving her somewhere if she has plans but I’m not going to be the one who will make the plans.
Since I like staying home a lot, I made it fun for my kids.. cooking something good, projects, I gave them computer time and we all hung out together...

The thought of running to the mall.. eeeww... so happy I have a nice cozy house with nice people and delicious food!

Some people like to go out because:

1. No work/school the next day (at least outside of Israel), so it is a good opportunity

2. They may have napped and are now so well-rested they have extra energy and/or are not likely to go to sleep at a normal time

3. They don't want to let go of the relaxed ease of Shabbat and enter the real world too soon.
