Is it normal to dislike having friends or people around, perhaps antisocial?

78% Normal
5 Comments

I think I might have behavioral or social mental disease. I dislike relationships (friends) with people around that I meet because it feels like I'm being used or wasting my time, that they really do not care for me.

Of all the people I know (233 aprox?), I can only count 3 that I like to spend time with and talk(I don't see em often though). .I like being alone, and though sometimes I seek to have friends... I quickly grow uninterested and start doubting if I should spend my time in it.

I have no problems with social interactions, for some reason people are attracted to me, perhaps because I smile a lot or something out of the sort.

I wanted to make and bought somethings for a friend, but I'm so doubtful and uninterested that I don't want to give em to him anymore.

I think that they do not or will not consider me as I consider them, therefore it is useless.

    Some people are like that, but antisocial means sociopathy! lol. It would be abnormal if you had fears of talking to people (sadly like I do)

    Er, actually I think the norm is more that most people, if they are going to be social/make friends, choose to do it with people they like and feel liked by. Or they just spend time by themselves, writing music or hanging with their dog, or something.

    It is not really normal to choose to spend time or make friends with people you don't like, or who seem to not like you.

    Kinda normal. You're an independent type, always were, but something made that become something bigger, bet. I watched my mom be abused by dad, we eventually left, family members treated me like shit, most of them, watched mom go through different relationships until my stepdad, was the only child until4th grade and they were girls, and twins, so I was basically still am left out, best friend died as a teen, and as a Marine, life is just a series of drinking, fucking, and being yelled at. I have NO real friend and completely content. I think the reasoning is no one can hurt me again but me. Your life may not have been that extreme, but honestly it only takes one important person to make you feel bad and no one to be there in whatever for you want them to be, for you to feel that way. On the up side, since I'm not locked to a group of people already, I usually do and go where I want. Everyone I know around me are scared of the idea of skydiving, so that would probably be put on a backburner if we were true friends...cause instead of classes for parachuting, I'd probably be playing church board games on"party nights" lol If you feel you want to meet and have friends....just do an activity yourself, and strike a conversation with everyone that's in the room. jokes will be shared, fun will be had, and grown men give other grown men their number without feeling weird cause they're probably doing the same....making friends.

    It is normal you feel this way. I feel like it is a waste of time and that they don't care for le either. But I'm starting to learn, it doesn't really matter whether they care about us, as long as we care about ourselves is all that matters. after all, these feelings are probably irrational or a distorted perception on the actual situation at hand.
