Is it normal if i am unmotivated at home?

I've been dreading to come back home after graduating college and its because of what I'm experiencing right now. I am back at home, lazy, comfortable but in a bad way and no friends. I had "friends" here before I left to college but they weren't really friends since I just didn't like anyone here as people which is why I moved away because I wanted to get away and start new and I did. The best times of my life so far were in college! I know I am a responsible person and trust myself so its not like I wanted to leave and party. I wanted to leave to finally start my own life and see what else is there that life has to offer. I met people that I consider my best friends and will never forget. They mean a lot to me from my best friend who is bisexual and crushed on me at first to my foreign exchange besties who were hard to say goodbye to to my awesome other friends that just made me laugh and accepted my craziness at times and lastly to my love/headache who I'm still talking to. Of course, we still try to see each other but its definitely not the same when we all lived in the same building and saw each other anytime we wanted! Aside from the people, just the fact that I had my own responsibilities was a great feeling.

I dreaded coming back home because 1) everyone here is a low life and they don't like to get out and explore 2) my family is conservative, not that much, but they are careful about almost everything and I feel like I have cut off half of everything I did over there and 3) I get lazy and unmotivated when I'm at home because idk i think its the boring atmosphere. It's so sad. I want to find my own place immediately before I get too comfortable. It's just my parents and my sister and that's it. Everyone is working and when I am at home, there's no one. It's boring.

Plus, there's this thing I get irritated by the most. Everyone here, family and "friends," thinks they know me. If I come off different or odd, they think I'm being fake and perhaps think that I am still that girl before she left to college. I am a completely different person out there and that's who I believe I really am because I got the chance to be myself and do whatever I wanted. So its annoying when everyone thinks I am still the same just cause I left. Maybe they need to get out of here and then they will realize they are the ones who haven't moved on and I'm the more open minded one. I just have to leave this place as soon as I can. Is it normal to feel this way?
