Is it normal that i hate socializing?

Hey, so I am 20 and I pretty much hate socializing. I can stand being around people for a while usually but I find it stressful and I get anxious. I like the idea of being sociable and hanging out with people but when it comes down to it I prefer to be alone usually.

    Depends on if this is causing you to loose out on experiences you want. If you feel fulfilled in the direction your life is taking, then its fine. People who are ok with being alone is actually a good thing. Its a Very mature trait.
    If it is causing problems u might want to talk to your doctor. Might be a medical condition.

    Sounds just like me. Totally normal. Your just an introvert and find it tiring interacting with other people. Its good to know there's some people out there like me.

    People wear masks in public (or really whenever they are around another person) so socializing with them is worthless-- you cannot count on them to be genuine. So of course it is normal. What else would it be?

    Cool - more people like me !!

    I like it more to watch people from a distance than being one of the crowd.

    I prefer my own company too.

    You're just an introvert. People make you tired.

  • Cool I'm kind of surprised by the result of this poll, I thought everyone would say it's really weird or something. Kind of makes me feel more comfortable knowing other people don't like socializing that much either.
