I'm a normal college kid (engineering major) but I don't enjoy socializing with my friends. It's hard work for me and I prefer to watch a movie, read a book, hang out one-on-one with one of two or three really close friends. I have to force myself to go out on Friday nights and feel the same way about hanging out with friends as I do doing homework...it's one of my tasks to accomplish, and not enjoyable. Is that normal?

    I hate my friends! And their girlfriends.

    Totally normal! It's called being an introvert.

    You said you still enjoy the company of other people. (Hanging out with a few friends) so this is completely normal, especially if you're working so hard. I have little ones and work full time- which isn't quite the same- but come Friday I'm wiped out from the week, the last thing I want to do is go out and party. I think there's a lot of people who'd agree. Try going out less, maybe once a month. Leisure time should be enjoyable, not just something else to add to your to do list.
