Im 17 and in community college so Im able to simply go through my days without a lot of attention, but is it odd for me to not socialize with people? Im not a quite kid who seats in the back of the class. Im usually the one that is answering question. I have friends that are still in Highschool but I never see them now and i dont really want to. They have always invited me to parties but I usually dont go with them and when I do I usually dont enjoy it. Im not a shy person and Ive been told by girls that im good looking so im able to my friends and girlfriends but i choose not too. Ive giving all this some thought and i think its because i dont think people are like me. My interest are very different and im not into what is mainstream. Im not saying that Im a hipster because I live in an area where there is many of them and i dont get a long with them. Im also not depressed or a rude person, i dont push people away.

Things about me:
-I live a healthy life. I lift 4-5 times a week. I go for jogs and walks.
-I like nature and animals.
-I like to listen to electronic indie and I also make songs
-Tried to have girl friends but all have ended shortly and i cant say their was much love
-I was really into the cycling scene and still ride my road bike(not a fixie)
-I like going to concerts and music festivals

Thats all i can think about at the moment. Can you guys post comments of what you think?

    Most people want friends and lovers. It's human nature. Even those who aren't particularly sociable or are extremely introverted tend to desire some company now and then - some platonic and romantic bonds.

    So you're unusual for not desiring the same. However, your own contentment is all you should worry about, so if you're happy with solitude then embrace it and live how you wanna.

    To not want to have relationships or friendships isn't really normal. But if you are okay with this then there isn't anything wrong with it. As long as you are happy who cares.

    You are perfectly normal. There are many other people who share similar interests to the kinds that you do. The fault is not with you, it is with the society that we live in. The system is broke, let's fix it! [intentional instead of broken.]
    Please do not 'jog'. Jogging actually causes more harm than benefit. Run or walk. Run uphill, walk downhill on steep grades.

    I myself "lift" 2-3 times a day, brother. I can understand how nice it is to be alone too.
