Im a quiet girl who works at a family business, ive always found it hard to fit in and make friends, a few reasons really, one because I don't like drinking and because im shy and don't like big groups. I have a couple of friends who I see well not often enough but it feels weird leaving the house and going out with them, specially new friends, idk why. Im trying and am pushing myself. But is it normal to feel this way? To have no friends? And to go out and try and meet them? Everyone you meet though has there own friends, there is no one like me :( desperate. But I am quite happy going to night classes, and the gym and out to simple places with the odd friend I have "/.
Is it normal?
or am I weird? Any advice is welcome :)

    Don't feel bad. I'm pretty much the same way. I can relate to the feeling of having to "push yourself" in social situations because I feel uncomfortable around people. The friends I have are few and far between. Honestly, I probably only see my friends like once a year. Everybody else is an acquaintance.

    Most people don't go out alone because they're probably scared to do it. When you wanna make new friends, really your only option is to go alone. You're not weird at all for wanting to go out and make new friends.

    Sounds a little like a mild case of social anxiety.
    Especially when you say "Push yourself"
    And the fact that you still feel uncomfortable with close friends.
    But it could just be you need to make new friends. Maybe you guys don't have a lot in common anymore? Whatever the reason good luck hun (:

    I am like you too. Although...I tend to naturally draw people toward me.. and I am at peace with who I am.. and I am not shy.
    Oh wait..yeah, I'm nothing like you, sorry.

    Friends are usually people who have common interests with you, so if you want friends you'll have to find people that share your interests.
    Join a club or take up an activity and you will soon meet lots of people who share that interest.
    These people will then share other interests with you and you'll make new friends who also enjoy these things. And so on.
