Am i an introvert?

So i should start of saying that i have had very few friends in my life. All my school days went silent without me talking to anyone or they talking to me. I did try to talk to people but they never really wanted to talk much to me. I tried really hard to make friends but since i did not "look like one of them", the friendships were very brief. Now when i am lonely in class and some one asks me something or if i want to eat lunch with them. I always say "no", and feel angry and bad for them because they asked someone like me to eat with them and angry because i think they are pitying me. So now i like to see how many days go by without me saying a word or talking to anyone in school. When someone say if i want to go somewhere i say have something important to do, so i cant. While in realty i don't have anything to do, other then sit and stare at wall thinking about nothing. I don't interact with people at all you could say. So you think i am an introvert? and is it normal to do this?

    It's high school man. It doesn't matter. Be as quiet as you want. These aren't the people who you're going to spend your glory days with. Sooner or later you're going to get into a situation where the people you're around are going to draw you out, and it'll feel good. For now just grin and bear it.

        Same difference really. It doesn't always happen in for people in college either even though all the movies and tv shows say it will. Get a job somewhere and start getting close to the people you work with.

    The first poster's right. High school suuuucks. You basically just described my teenage years, and I've got a great group of friends these days. You may have social anxiety (can be caused by genetics or your upbringing) which I went to therapy for and it helped a lot. Find things your passionate about and you'll meet people you can relate to. Good luck.

      Srry, just saw yr reply that you're in college. Join a group, whether it's gaming, sports, art etc. that you care about and you'll meet ppl you wanna hang out with.
