Well, I'm 19 years old and i'm a very loving, caring and gentle person however; I have this thing that I just keep a distance from the people who love me (friends). I've known my "best friend" for 4 years and she always says that she sees me like a sister and all that, but I just dont feel that close to anyone. I just break their hearts at times when they expect me to do things that a friend should do. For example, I didn't call her on her birthday and just texted her instead when she were on holiday and she immediately started arguing as to why I did that and why I didn't call her at least once whilst she was on her holiday. The thing is my personality is just completely different as I don't really care if my friend doesn't ever call me or just things like that. I just do not really care and I just feel like if I dont call or speak to a friend for ages, it should just be normal and not such a shock to people.

I also feel like certain people just take advantage of my caring personality and just take or ask a favour from me and not speak to me for a while after; maybe that is why I feel this way.

Honestly, if I have read this post somewhere, I would have though that the person posting this just has a cold personality and is careless, but I honestly am not like that and i'm a very caring and warm person. I just don't know what this is.

Is what i'm feeling normal? Thanks

Also I didn't know whether to upload this under friends or thoughts so I just posted it here.

    In the same. I gradually lose friends throughout the year and I don't care. They always end up annoying me. I honestly don't care if I have friends or not. I Luke staying home anyway. I'd like to have a person to have fun with but overall, I don't care if I lose them.

    Friendship is overrated.

    If you live in the Sahara long enough, your body acclimates itself; finds an equilibrium. So it is with the mind. It too acclimates itself.

    But it's not good to be alone. You need your fellow man. And yes people take advantage, but if you talk to anybody who's sociable and as friends they'll all tell you that they've all been burned occasionally.

    Where there is great victory, there is great risk. It's unavoidable in this life.

    And by extension, a common symptom of friendship is talking.

    No one wants a stone for a friend; something that refuses to communicate.

    Are you by chance a Taurus?

    Well, a lot of people have had that thought at some point in their life, but they're wrong. I know Hollywood has romanticized the 'mysterious loner', but that's not the kind of life you want. You can't lead life on your own without going insane.

    People are social creatures. Even though we're often dicks to each other, we need company. Talk things out with your friend. If that doesn't work, hang out some more with other people.

    Some people are less social then others. If you feel like that then you shouldn't try to be someone you are not.
