Is it normal to never go out with friends

When I was in high school I was sort of a class clown, I was well liked and had a ton of friends but I never like going out with my friends after school. I'd rather spend my time watching TV, internet, video games, reading books, etc.

I'm in my third year of college now and I'm still the same way but I've become much more introverted, I'm terrified to speak in class and I haven't hung out with anyone. I'm a commuter, live alone, go to school full time, have almost straight A's and work 25 hours a week during school and 35 hours during summer. I use the internet many hours each day and honestly I've become really scared of having real friends. Is this normal?

I'm sure I could make friends if I want to, I just am not interested in spending time with others. If I had a girlfriend though I would spend every minute with her. I also find other people to be a bad influence on me, keeping me away from learning things and making me want to drink, etc. It's just all stupid and I don't want to spend my time getting drunk or having meaningless relationships with others talking about whose dating who, etc, because I couldn't care less.

Is It Normal?

    Well if your pulling straight A's thats what's really going to count in the long run. You'll have your entire life to socialy indulge.

    yeah i became that way too after i graduated from high school.
    i mostly focus on school, and work. and i dont really like to hang out with friends. i feel like its a waste of my time. i'd just be bored. if im going to be bored, i'll be bored by myself.
    i like to entertain myself. i feel better on my own than with company.

    One of my friends is slightly similar. He's not vert well liked but has a good pool of friends, but never wants to go anywhere and would rather sit on his PC.

    Lemme guess ... You were abused at a young age ... If this is true I want you to go to a phycology expert right the f*** now it's a mental disorder cause by abuse and the only way to fix it is through phycology people get good grades becUse they are afraid of failure
    And people stay away from other because they fear them
    Learn to accept people for who they are
