Is it normal to not like your friends?

I don't have a lot of friends, perhaps 2 or 3 close friends that I have known for a long time. And I am not that good at making new ones.

Sometimes I hear people saying how much they love their friends and how great they are and how they wouldn't be the same without them etc...

But although I like my good friends and normally have a good time hanging out with them, I often find myself disliking them too. I think "he's really arrogant.." or "he's always looking down on people.." or "he's selfish.." "he's rude.." If they do something nice, I sometimes think it's not sincere. Sometimes I think we've got nothing in common and I want to run away and make totally new friends and forget them, but then I think I would probably miss them if I did.

Is that normal? Or am I just picking holes. I am not really a 'people person" lol...

    I'm exactly the same. My friends irritate me more than they bring me happiness and I never like to be around them too much, small doses is good haha! I also find myself questioning their motives at times and seeing straight through their actions.

    I like my friends and I've gotten closer to them by living with them but I can't stand my friends friends but they spend so much time at our house. I've been trying to avoid but its hard when you live there

    Thanks for your comments.

    I am not sure. I mean my friends aren't bad people, but sometimes they do things that I find not nice. Maybe it's just that I've changed since we first became friends.

    I feel like I want new friends and then I am free to be more myself and be more open and discover myself more too. But then again, after knowing these new friends awhile, I would probably start to dislike them too!

    I want to escape to a new place and have totally new friends and life. If only I was better at making friends then I wouldn't be so afraid...

    Thanks.
