Im happy around people but upset when alone.

9 Comments

As far back as I remeber I've always loved to be the center of attention. Some people have told me they wish they could be as happy as I am. Yes, I'm a very happy person most of the time when I'm surrounded by people, but when I'm alone thats when I'm become very upset.I become bitter and cold. I hate to be alone, because it makes me feel worthless, kind of insecure. The worst part is, when I am alone it gives me time to think how much of a loser I am. I just can't help it it always happen I end up crying and freaking out. But as soon as I call someone it starts to get better. No one but my imediate family knows about this. Is it normal? And if so whats wrong with me?

    You're an extrovert. Of course there's a lot more to you than that but this is just one aspect of your personality.

    Do an online search of the personality profile of an extrovert and you'll find a lot of advice on what you can do to make the most out of your personality type.

    I guess it's normal. My friends are that way. But I love my "me time" alone. The quiet. No one asking me where things are. Solving their dramas, making meals for everyone else when I'm not hungry, etc...

    I hate it when on the last day of school everyone is celebrating together but me, or when right after my birthday party everyone goes off to sleep over at someone's house. :P

    Its sounds as if you need to feel that others are valuing you in some way in order for you to value yourself. When alone you are no longer distracted by others and must focus on your self. When alone you tend to pick yourself apart and focus on your insecurities. It sound's as if you need to focus on yourself. Find out WHY you feel worthless when alone. Do you base your worth on what OTHERS think of you or what YOU think of you. Don't be afraid to be alone with yourself and your thoughts and insecurities. We all have them and sometimes they are hard to face, but once you start to it becomes easier.

    You are right - its like you need other people & to be at the centre to prop yourself up. Get counselling - why be miserable?

    I'm the other way around. I hate being surround by lots of people (maybe cuz I'm a bitclostrphobic or maybe it's because I'm paranoid of people looking at me for no reason when they arn't my friends.). I love being left alone it gives me time to sleep, think, and relax.

    It seems you like the company of other people. Try and find a girlfriend to keep you busy. When alone try and find some things to do and don't focus on loneliness.
