Is it normal to be distant to people?

I'm the exact same way as you. Like when I'm at school or work I'll get along great with other people because I think I'm good at reading other people's emotions but as soon as that person is like "Hey, do you want to hang out?" I start getting nervous and thinking "Hell no!!!" Honestly I think part of the problem is that I'm nice to everyone and just say what they want to hear because I hate being disliked, but I don't want to genuinely become friends with that person because I don't find them that interesting.

And I agree with Fahad, one day I want to get a small boat and go out onto the ocean and just sail around for a long time so I can be away from everyone. Nature is much more charming than other people.

You are a loner, you like having people around you yet at the same time you like being on your own and in your own space. I am exactly the same, thats why i plane to get a boat and travel. lol

As long as you don't lead people on with false hope you will do well, i always say do what makes you happy.

Yep I'm in the exact same boat you're in: attractive, a friendly demeanour, but people tire me out and I just can't be bothered to make an effort when it's the friends I didn't have to make a real effort with that turned out to be the best ones. Problem is I'm a nomad and have moved around and lost touch with them, almost. I hope when I get older that people will be more interesting to talk to--I do find older people much more interesting (I'm 24).

I would have to say nothing wrong with you. you probably are one of the few people in the world that love people but have an extremely low tolerance for stupid bullshit.

You should seek out the man you want, and pursue your college education. Quit waiting for men to "hit on you". You might be shallow, but probably you just have some hang up like esteem problem or general apathy. You should eat capsaicin tablets and give some guy the BJ of his life. You'll feel better.

And famous intellectual and existentialist Jean Paul Sartre once wrote "Hell is other people."

i fink your normal, but your giving out mixed messages. i understand u prefer to be by yourself, sometimes i feel like this to,
but it may make life easier if you try to start socialie more.
you dnt wnt to end up alone.

Fuhad is completely right.

In addition, you just haven't found a person you can get along with at a deeper level. Once you do, your world will be flipped upside-down. ;)

I do the same thing, I don't mind talking to people and I have a lot of friends but usually I much prefer being on my own and will rarely start a conversation or make plans.

Woh.. that's like me talking... I like the people I know alot and wish I can keep up with them.. But, at some time I feel that I'm not really that close as other people are. But, it's just the way I am.. and it comforts me. It does bother you .. But, you have to decide which way makes you feel like yourself?

I understand I'm not much of a people person myself. To me you sound normal, keeping a close friend is a great deal of work, and it sounds as if you would just rather not be bothered. As long as your happy don't worry about it. When a friend comes along that if worth your time and energy you will know! I hope this helps.
