Is it normal to not want friends?

64% Normal
9 Comments

After I graduated high school, I kind of just stopped talking to most of my friends, except for maybe one or two. And during college, I just stuck to myself and didn't try/want to make new friends. I've just been focusing on school, and during summers, I focus on work, do lately I haven't even talked or hung out with any of my friends. It's been over five months since I've really hung out with a friend, and I couldn't care less. Is this normal, has anyone else gone through this "stage"?

    You have to have some human interaction right? Even if it's not "friends" we're social creatures.

    Maybe you're a workaholic? Do you enjoy work more than friends?

    i've been without friends before. i usually don't need help with my troubles but if you ever do, you'll find you're alone and fucked besides what you can do on your own. this may mean riding a bicycle 15 miles to work and camping out in the city. or being robbed and they even stole your pot and you don't have any friends to come smoke you out and tell you what a bitch it is that you got burgled. while most people are more trouble than their company is worth, it's nice to have a small number of people that would help you without being asked to. and who are you gonna share that killer album that you just discovered with? or have tea? i hope you at least have a cat.

    I have always been like that. I am 18 and although I do speak to people, I never care when I have not spoken to people in a while. I make no effort to keep friendships. People come, people go.

    I'm in the exact same boat as you. I work full time and go to school full time and my schedule is much too erratic to hang out with friends. Not to mention, friends can be needy and I can't afford to have to stay up all night with someone because they were dumped and have to cry for six damned hours. Most people my age don't have as much to do as I do.

    I get plenty of pleasure from study and work.
