Is it normal that i don't want any friends?

I used to have lots of friends as a young person. I found that people ended up being more trouble then they are worth. One by one over the years I have cut my friends off for one reason or another. Now I have two friends, and I wish I could get rid of them too, but I have known them for so long and been through so much with them that the only thing that stops me from cutting them off is guilt.
I really only want to talk to my family and those in the world that I have to communicate with to get by (ie: co-workers, clients/customers, companies I do business with, and relatives etc.).
I don't want to "hang out", or go to a party, or any of that. I did too much of that as a teen. I think my friendships are purely superficial because of this and it goes against my morals to be fake, so I just want to dump my last two friends. They haven't done anything but be themselves, I just find many people too annoying to deal with for the prolonged and/or psychologically intimate contact that friendship requires.

Is this normal?

    Having no friends might get lonely, but it's your life and your choices. I think you're normal.

    Well, I hope that you are able to find people that are more to your liking, but it is normal to grow apart from your friends.

    People get older, their needs and wants change.

    I officially love you. Story of my life. People annoy me to DEATH and a lot of times I find acquaintances to be more fun than actual friends. After burning endless amounts of bridges in high school, I've just been trying to make lighter, less personal relationships. It's giving me the comrodary I've been looking for, but not too much where I would be putting in any unnecessary effort or there being a chance of getting annoyed or 'burned'. That way, you're not really making any deep attachments. But, in my case, besides my family, I do have my boyfriend, who is my best friend, so I find it easier to avoid closer relationships with others because I've got him. But I'm with ya 100%. Perfectly normal.
