Is it normal that i am really antisocial?

I would rather spend all day and night with just my dog and my borfriend. I hate going out with other people. My boyfriend likes to hang out with other people sometimes and when e sets up.double dates for us t makes me really mad because I hate beig aroud other people. I just don't care or making so many friends or being around oters. I feel socially awkward and I am quiet. I just like being to myself or he people who I am comfortable with. When he sets up dates for us. I get so upset I'll say grouchy and when we see his friends I put on a mask and act okay. I know it's not fair what I am doing but I don't like being so social. We fight over this a lot. We have been together or almost three years. I think it also had to do with me not being happy about myself. I hye my appearance and my weight. I hate how much weight I have gained. Ugh. I just don't like being around groups of people and pretending to be okay socially when I am not.

    Weight can make a person feel unattractive. It is easier to avoid this feeling by just staying away from people. However, you are making the situation worse. Getting out and mingling with people Can make u more energetic and comfortable around people.

    Try to go out on your own and meet people, maybe you just don't realize that there are other people who enjoy the same thing you do, Later in life you will regret not getting to know people when you one day wake up and realize that you are all alone, and never looked in to the deep rooted reasons as to why you don't like to hang out with people. SOme people these days just like to push their problems to the side and ignore them. Luckily you have a boyfriend that is trying to help you with that, and believes in your potential, I'm sure not just so he can have more fun, but so you can actually have some fun for once. Don't Disassociate yourself!!! NO BUENO!!

    People are extremely judgmental, though they tend to consider this when they formulate their facade, sort of like a benefit of the doubt so they have unfair opinions but often acknowledge it

    Don't join a gym, they're meat markets. Nothing is more emberassing or makes you more self-conscious. You'll buy a membership, use it once and be back at square one: self conscious AND losing money. You're better off finding some way to discipline yourself into working out at home, going for a bikeride or something, just not a gym.

    Whether you like it or not doing (certain) things you don't want to do is essential to character development. If you're scared of something, facing it repeatedly is the only way to develop courage.

    I can't stand top 40 or cable TV and I'm grudgingly accepting the internet as the "most important thing ever". Therefore I seldom have any common interests with people.

    I just see it as a song and dance. I'm a lot happier at home where I can walk around buck nekked so I spend most of my time that way but not all of it.

    Don't get sucked into being a "social" person, most people won't admit how much they're sucked up in pulp culture and have sacrificed their depth for breadth.

    Exercise but don't join a gym.

    Do the social "song and dance" when you have to then laugh disdainfully at society's expectations.

    Being solitary leads to self-absorption and self-obsession which eventually leads to poor self-image. This is the downward spiral of social awkwardness. Thankfully you have a boyfriend to mitigate this somewhat.

    I can fully understand how u feel but u don't want to turn your bf off by being so anti social an when u don't like yourself others find it hard to like u 2. I changed a few things in my diet an walked aprox 25 mins every morn an I've lost 8.5 kg. I also had my hair cut an bought a few new clothes an I'm feeling much better about myself.

    You sound like you might b depressed and eating to numb your feelings. Maybe talk to someone about that.

    Work on the weight. Start by eliminating a few bad diet habits and get moving, I don't think you're anti- social. You just don't feel attractive.

    Aww ;( if you are unhappy enough to refer to yourself as fattymoocow I'm gonna say it's pretty understandable not wanting to be very social. If your weight bothers you try joining the gym with your bf and going on I diet.... Nothing will boost the confidence like weight loss, a nice tan and a mani pedi ;-D good luck!

    Sorry for all the typos. The big "updating" window kept blocking the input area where I am suppose to write my story.
