Is it normal to be socially outgoing yet get annoyed when people get too close?

4 Comments

Whenever I hang out with people I don't want to hang out at my house or their house unless they're having a party. This is because I will get quickly bored. At the same time I can be very extraverted. I like talking to people at parties and bars but when it comes to getting closer to people I actually get annoyed. I've never liked living with anyone and cannot even imagine someone I could tolerate being around all the time. I like to hangout with people at events because it can be entertaining but at the end of the day I want to be alone. I'm curious how common it is to like socializing but feel annoyed when people get too close. I have friends that call me almost everyday and while some people like that I wonder why they don't have anything better to do than bother me. The more I get to know someone the quicker I get annoyed and less I am entertained.

I'm like this too, it's common. 11

    I hate when people overstay there welcome and try to hangout every single day. Theres so much to do in this world and yet they want to hangout all day everyday and do boring stuff.

    Maybe you love socialising but want be to in control of your social interactions, so being constantly bombarded with calls and all that annoys you because it gives you a feeling of lack of control. I know that's how I feel sometimes when I feel I'm forced to socialise more than I want.

    Yeah. I believe it's called introversion when people get exhausted by too much social interaction. They usually need a lot of alone time.

    I'm like this too. It's so annoying when my social friends want to party, socialize and come over 24/7. I'm like "please, go home". They even know what that special look I give them means when they've overstayed their visit. I've trained them well.
