Is it normal i love talking with others, but i'm unsure whether i want friends?

I love small talk and hanging out in groups. Except... I never get to do it because I'm cautious about making friends. I could talk with strangers for hours anywhere and everywhere, whether waiting in line or at bars or events, but I'm not sure whether I want friends. So I never get invited anywhere, and sometimes I wish I had people texting me asking to meet up, but at the same time I feel like the status quo is nice because I can do things my own way, whenever I want. I'm just limited in the things I can do. Maybe I'm afraid I'd let my friends down. Maybe I don't want the responsibilities of being a friend, like being obligated to help each other, etc. But somehow, I'm a little unhappy, invisible to everyone, just learning about many different people.

    You dont have to be afraid of being friends with people :)

    Arguments can happen, but friends stick with each other.

    Friends are great :)
