Is it normal that i'm antisocial ?

8 Comments

I am 21 and I just graduated from uni. I have some close friends and I contact my family regularly. The thing is, I have never been a social person. I have never had any interest in anything mainstream, unlike most of the people my age, so it is a bit difficult for me to have a conversation with them, though it is not that I cant socialise at all. I feel much more comfortable talking to people older than me (30+), and I have a very good sense of humour as many of them told me.

However, I just dont like being around other people for a long period of time. Make me tired. I like hanging out with my friends, but only for a while. I only find comfort when I'm alone, listening to music. I listen to heavy metal and classical music, usually the very depressing and dark stuff, but I dont feel sad or depressed at all, I actually feel happy. Some of my friends said to me that I need to open up, worrying that I might get depressed, but I actually don't, and I don't know how to explain to them. I don't drink or do drugs, and I hate clubbing.

Do you think I'm normal ?

    I think you mean unsociable rather than antisocial.

    You listen to heavy metal and classical too? YAY!
    I think you're normal, some people are just like that (same here too).

    YOu are getting anti social and introverted confused. antisocial individuals thrive on using and abusing others to meet their own selfish needs and desires. These are your serial killers, psychopaths and rapists. Being an introvert is completely different and if it makes you happy and you can function in society, then do it. In psychology we learn that you are only mentally ill if it impedes the self, is a threat to the self or others. if you are safe and others are safe and you feel you can function... enjoy your hidy- hole! :)

    I'm like that too. I have to take a breather after being social all day, and would rather be by myself for the rest of the day. It's normal, you're just introverted. It's your personality. Most older people are more mature, so that's probably why you get along with them so easily.
