Do you think you could be happy living your ENTIRE life on a super fancy SciFi space station? (hexbear.net)

Or a really big star ship?

Like one with REALLY nice facilities and services, maybe not a full blown holo-deck cuz that'd sorta defeat the purpose of a hypothetical. Like it could even have some domed gardens and stuff but nothing quite big enough to fully trick you into thinking you were on a planet surface.

IDK if I could, I like the outdoors, but it would also basically be like living in the most walkable city ever.

When I was a kid, I thought living in an arcology or on a space station like DS9 would be good for my agoraphobia. More recently (thanks to therapy) I've realized that I'm not actually afraid of being outside, I'm afraid of being perceived by other people. Inside is still bad if people can see through my windows, but outside is really good if I'm like 50 km away from the nearest human other than my wife.

I want to live in an arcology, though I wouldn't be surprised if the underlying desires causing that could also be fulfilled by a walkable city with decent public transportation. I hate car hell.
