Is it normal that... it's about friends. just read for god's sake!

Serial killer in the making...

yeah.., it is normal

I used to feel that way too.. sometimes I feel hanging out with friends is like a waste of time, you cannot do whatever you want and you are not free to do such things which makes you feel better.

I like the title.

I don't like extended exposure to anyone. Friends are like Helium. Brief encounters are fun, but hang in there too long and you'll get suffocated. As such, I don't consider myself antisocial, more like I'm pseudosocial.

My mom has hosted parties, including my birthday parties. She believes that the role of a host is to interact frequently, to assure everyone is enjoying themselves and to not wander upstairs and play on one's gameboy. She believed that social gatherings overrode my desire for occasional solitude, especially when the gathering focuses on me.

Led to lots of pausing and pocketing of games when she looked my way.

Oh don't worry, it's a completely normal way to be, don't listen to these other blokes..., though I agree it is rude to plan something then leave.

If you don't like the sleepovers, stop haviing them. Maybe make time for one on one time with your friends, plan non spending an hour or two with them outside of school instead of having a part. You might enjoy that more.

Despite what you hear evereywhere, you *can* be alone and still be happy. No worries :)

Oops! I all forgot to say this:

I like to do things individually myself.

There's a good chance that you are anti-social (when it comes to friends and that, obviously.). I know a few people who are like that. Do you participate well in group activities at school? I was never all that good at it. Maybe you just like doing your own things individually.

thats kinda harsh....if i had a friend who hated sleepovers and meeting up i would be really depressed. because of certain stuff thats happened in my life i feel very unloved alot of the time and when a friend invites me out i feel really happy, because usually i am the one inviting people out (and i love to go out and have fun and get away from home). so if my friend hated sleepovers and stuff i would be kinda upset. also it is pretty rude when ur friend who really likes u has taken time out of their day planning it and then coming over and having to be driven, then you go and leave them alone and do ur own thing. its like, wth?? u dont seem like that great of a friend and u dont seem to love or respect ur frie4nds or regard them.

What do you mean by prefer to stay at home and do something alone? I'm just curious, because I don't understand why would some people don't want to be around with friends, especially after they graduated high school.

i think you're a future alcoholic.
