Is it normal to not want to hang out with your friends?

So lately I started this job.. and no matter how hard I try I can't keep up with my friends. And when I do hang out with them, i feel like i don't belong. Like nothing works. I feel lonely. i have my work friends but they don't understand my school life, and my school friends don't understand my work life. So I told my school friends and some co-workers i need a break and that they won't be seeing me for a while. And some said "okay..." others said "why would i be seeing you" and another one said "you're just being difficult" is this normal?

Is It Normal?

  • That's why people get married. Have families..
    You will find yourself hanging out with less and less friends from school, which ultimately will weed out the phonies, and hopefully retain the ones you have strong connections with. Think of your father or something, how many close friends does he have? Unless he still hangs out with his high-school buddies, which is possible, but to me that doesn't feel normal.
    What you are feeling is normal. Find a girl, concentrate on school, take it easy if you are having a rough time around friends.
