Outsidey, Not Outdoorsy And That’s Perfectly Fine

I’ve always felt a little out of place in hardcore outdoor spaces turns out I’m not outdoorsy, I’m outsidey. Discovered this gem of a term from a viral TikTok and it fits me like a comfy pair of Birkenstocks.

I’ll pass on the mud runs and backpacking marathons, but give me a riverside walk, a shady picnic spot, or a night sky to admire and I’m all in. There’s room for both adrenaline and leisure in nature and it’s refreshing to see that acknowledged.

Anyone else identify more as outsidey than outdoorsy?
