Is it normal to not care whether i have friends/a girlfriend?

I'm in a really good place right now, completely satisfied with my life and I've come to the conclusion that I'm a pretty happy, optimistic person because I don't care about making friends or having people approve of me. I feel really self-sufficient, and I'm usually happy hanging out at home reading, playing video games, studying, etc. I don't go out at all really besides going to school or going to work, and when I do go out with people I know I just feel awkward and like I have nothing in common with them. I guess I'm just used to being independent, because nobody relates to me. I've had okay friends in the past, but we've always lost touch for some reason. And as far as relationships go, I haven't always made the right decisions on who I date, so I sorta gave up on trying. Is it wrong that I'm the happiest & healthiest right now being independent and alone?

    I am just like you, I always deny if people want to hang out, I just like to be alone because no one ever enjoys what I want to do, and I don't like to follow other people's plans.

    i can relate to you because i like being alone, sure i have friends and go to their houses but then find myself thinking i prefer to be alone in my room playing video games and playing cards .but i do agree with mtnw (38583)you dont want to be alone forever. sometimes i like being alone and sometimes i like having company, i dont know i guess im weird.

    I have felt like that myself. I used to make a real effort to get along with others to try and make friends. I'd find myself doing things with them that I really wasn't that interested in doing because I felt I had to if I wanted them to do things I wanted to do. Then I started feeling like I was wasting my time. I got to the point where I just wasn't getting enough out of it to make it worth doing things I really didn't have that much in common with. Now I find it works out best for me if I try to find friends who are already interested in something I'm interested in. This eliminates wasting time doing things you don't really care for. It also gives you much more to talk about with your friend when you are together.

    People are illogical creatures that just want to reproduce and hook up and after years you realize they are no fun to play with!

    It's best to be self sufficient and have those close relations. I know what you mean to a degree though.

    you are ok because between school and work, how much time do you have anyway. right now things are going good for you so you are ok alone. though, it is good to keep your friendship and dating skills active. you might now want to be alone forever and it may get hard to start up again.
