Is it normal that i dislike strangers (sometimes) & no desire to talk to people

Today I was in my church in the teenager's section. I sat myself and just had that feeling dislike for everybody there for the first five minutes. It wasn't powerful it was just that feeling when you just don't like a person and annoyance. I don't hate church. Once the pastor starting speaking it went away. Also I have seven classes per day for my school schedule and meet about hundreds of people. But I have no desire to speak to them unless it is school related. I have only two "real" friends that I can act myself around with and then for the rest of the six classes I don't talk to anyone. I have my "friend's" phone numbers but barely text them. I don't feel lonely and I enjoy being alone in my spare time after school. I just feel like I "need" friends for birth days parties and to convenience my parent's that I'm not friendless and to feel like a normal teenagers that hang out with their friends. I only have seven experiences with hanging out with friends through middle and high school.

Is It Normal?

  • Im becoming like this too, the older I get the worse it is. I don't want to talk to anybody just leave me alone.

  • I had a few close friends in high school and we hung out a lot, but grew apart after graduation. Since then, I don't really care to have friends. I think they're nice to have, but I don't really care if I don't have any. I like being alone as well.

  • Maybe you have social anxiety

    • Actually I don't. Social anxiety is not the dislike for people lol

  • I was the same in highschool but soon my superficial friendships became so real it shocked me. I still keep in contact with them. As long as you're comfortable I don't think you should force yourself to be sociable but it is a good experience to have friends and share your life with others. That's easier to do online. If you're still a teen, you're in those awkward years and this may wear off so you will want to have real friends a lot not just for show. However I do understand how some friends seem so fake because I am sometimes disinterested and behave the same way.
