Is it normal to feel so detached from people ? I don't go out with friends, nor do I have any desire to, and interacting with people seems wasteful. Nobody has anything really useful to say, it's all about the latest trends and cute guys. I spend all my time in a routine of going to the gym, playing piano, reading, doing my homework, ect... Life is boring, people are extremely redundant, and I've decided to do something prestigious. I'm striving to work for the FBI, and although the job's been highly romanticized by today's media, acquiring the job would still give me a sense of achievement. This is all that's motivating me to do anything. When I imagine the future, I see myself as successful, and this makes me happy. What I don't see is family, friends, and a husband; people might as well be objects. I'm not sure if I am a social recluse, depressed, or just very driven. IIN?

    Perhaps you have not met people capable of holding an intelligent conversation. You should not judge all people based on those you have met within a miniscule radius.

    I would not trust a misanthropist with my life as others will have to do if you do become a federal agent.

      I don't consider myself a misanthropist, people just don't interest me. I do understand the responsibility attached to becoming a federal agent and do appreciate your concern, but i don't disregard life. I can say we've probably both had very different experiences people wise, as you seem to have met more interesting people than I have. Anyways, thank you for the reply.

    You sound much like me, except I do have the desire to meet others, as there are exemptions to the boredom rule.

    Seems like you would be a pretty poor judge of people, one of the most important parts of working for the FBI. Even a lab rat will have to deal with lots of people on a daily basis.
    I sure hope you aren't getting into debt for that education you probably are not going to use. There's not much call for well educated hermits.
