Is it normal that i don't feel the need to develop friendships?

I much prefer being alone to hanging out with other people. I get no joy out of conversation and meeting new people is boring.

I struggled to keep friends when I was in elementary school, so in high school I gave up trying, and I haven't had a friend since. Every time I talk to my parents, all they talk about is the fact that it isn't normal for someone to not have any friends, so I figured I'd find out for myself.

Is it normal that the company of my laptop, my books, and my cat is enough for me, and that I don't want to add a friend to my life?

    Yeah friends are mostly pointless unless you need something to do.

    i never had friends because i thought everyone was too ignorant to hang out with. my only friend is my sweet fiance. and my pet racing pigeon!

    anyway, i have made friends, but i always end up drifting away, and eventually just lose contact. who needs em? some people are solitary. you only really need your family. and one day your and your spouse will be your own family, and thats all you will care about. and you will be happy :]

    hey if you're happy then that's it!but it's the human connections the element that makes Us human.at least that's my opinion.I don't like talking to much to other people myself I have one good friend and when i was in high school i had friends also.All I'm saying is a little bit of socializing is good.

    Sorry mate but you are missing out on SO much. If I had no friends I'd probably go crazy and shoot myself, how can you not feel incredibly lonely? Friends make memories and when you're old and on deaths doorstep memories of having fun with friends will be all you have. Oh yeah and friends also lead to uh... Damn what's it called? Oh a girlfriend! And trust me, you want a girlfriend.

      Actually, I *don't* want a girlfriend. I've never been into the whole lesbian thing, so that's sort of the last thing on my mind.
