Is it normal to not want to have friends at all? I reject them when they invite me to hang out. I dont pick up the phone when they call me because i only like to text and write them on msn other than that just forget it. I guess im just a good online friend lol then i feel bad when ignore my texts. hahaha
I am not fond of hanging out in person either. I get bored really easily and start fidgeting. Personally, I think it's a sign of intelligence. The people that I know who constantly want to hang out are those that can't be alone for long because they can't think of things to do by themselves. I enjoy my own company!
you remind me of myself...
i think friends are a total waste of time and energy
they're pretty much useless
i just need my mom in my life other than that everyone else can kiss my butt
i have a few friends...but i don't like any of them because they not only talk about the stupidest stuff but i feel like i have more important things to do in life than hear them talk about their own.
awwwh she only needs her mommy by her side.
cute little scared girl hiding behind her mother? you sound so delectably molestable to me.
I know this post is old, but I recently came here due to having the same thought of not wanting friends and your reply seems to be so dumb. You don't go and assume or judge someone because of what they think. You seem delectably retarded. Unlike you, most people appreciate their parents, especially since these are the same human beings that brought them to the damn planet Earth in the first place and provided them what they needed to survive. So if she needs only her mom, then that's the person she chooses in her opinion. If you disagree with it, you should've never replied to her with that dumbass comment. And I'm pretty sure her mom taught her pretty well enough and she's not stupid enough to fall for molestation. Think twice before you say something dumb shit
I think its fine. I am a retired detective, military veteran and was always referred to as the life of the party and joker.
Im tired of it. Im tired of people who are just into materialistic views and how to be better than someone else.
You really find out who your friends are in life and Im fine with it. I just told my wife today that none of her friends that are couples I can see myself hanging out with and she gets upset. But do I lie or tell the truth?
Truth is the way to go. Be true to yourself, be true to others. I would rather do things alone than to have to entertain or make converstaions with people I dont care for or have no clue with whats going on in the real world.
Just my feelings...Good luck to ya.
(Chose: YES, it's normal)
Personally, I don't like the obligation of keeping up with friends.
Call me selfish, but I'd rather spend time by myself or with family.
I'm exactly the same way. I enjoy hanging out with my buds when I see them at school, but after we're done for the day I don't want anything to do with them.
Some people just need their space and like to do things their own way. I feel the same way many times bc "friends" want you to hang out or waste your time doing stuff you really don't want to do. Find someone you have A LOT in common with and you probably won't mind being their friend and doing stuff with them.
I agree with you. I feel very resentful when I get pulled into an activity I otherwise would have politely and firmly declined, it is generally to do crap for other people you don't want to do. In truth, many times it's not even to do anything, but to be an audience for one who cannot deal with being alone. In fact, it gets so bad for me while that primate grin is plastered on my face I'm thinking about my own agenda. At this point in my life I've has my fill of it and I'd rather be true to myself and stop pretending. This doesn't seem to work very well, either, since I have tried to be honest and do called friends still railroad over my sincere explanations to express why their socializing needs should come first. It's blatant disrespect when you tell your friend you cannot commit, yet bc I don't want to socialize I'm being villainized for not accepting the pressure they keep applying after you establish your boundaries. I feel indignant, frustrated and angry bc I'm an adult with many responsibilities to myself and others. I have accountability to myself, family, work (to earn and pay bills), but other than that as an adult no one else has the right to guilt or pressure me into their social crap when I set clear boundaries. The way k look at it is that am adult enough to respect others boundaries and they should be adult enough to respect mine with me having to justify the why's and wherefores.
i dont think so i am a person that sicks to myself because i hate drama or other people who talk crap about others or make fun so yeah its normal
I'm like this too, but I do have one good friend. She understands that I don't always want to hang out, but it's nice to have someone there.
I have not had a friend in about a year. Even when I had a friend we would only see eachother once every 2 or 3 weeks and that was to go out to dinner and we would part ways. I cling on to the boyfriends that I choose to be with. And I am emotionally upset that they don't want to spend every day or everyother day with me...I don't know how to overcome this.
Dude...
At least have one good friend. if you have one good friend, that friend will help you into feeling better. in your worst hour of need. keep one friend, to heck with the rest. that is what i did. sure i got the whole MSN, Texting thing going on. But my Buddy Steve is my Best friend. and a shoulder to cry on... you know that whole thing...
Try it dude.
well this is an iffy question. I avoid people sometimes because like bumbles09 i hate drama too, so i guess maybe that is alright (although just cause im like that doesnt mean its normal) However if you are fine with them online, facebook, text and just cant stand being around them in person, i dont think that is normal.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
I never realized how not alone I am in feeling this way, from all the comments above. It sounds pretty normal to me to want to spend your time alone! Friends can be very dramatic and it is often frustrating having to listen to them talk about things you don't really care for. It's like you have better things to do. I don't like hanging out with people either, the only thing I do enjoy is talking to them once in a full moon online. I don't like spending too much time with a person because then I get very bored of them and really want more space.
