So, I just had a talk with my father and he just called me anti-social mainly because I don't go out and do things with friends like people my age do. I, on the other hand, think I am fairly social. I'm open to people and I like to converse with friends at school. However, I don't have a phone or a facebook and I hardly get invited to anything unless I'm the one who initiates an event. It seems like they never want to keep in touch with me without my effort. Am I anti-social? Does 'not hanging out with friends'classify me as so? Is this situation normal?

    There's nothing wrong with you.

    Not sure if this will help you, but I bet your friends like you a lot, even if they don't always invite you to events.

    I'm pretty social, but I also need a lot of downtime or private time to myself, otherwise it just feels like a total sensory overload and I start to feel cranky. The only person I can stand seeing daily is my husband.

    This sounds a lot like me. I think of myself as somewhat anit-social, but that isn't neccessarily a bad thing. I only really socialise at school, or have facebook or text or call anyone.
