I'm a really introverted person who enjoys staying home with my family. However, there are times when I wish I had friends--my car breaks down, I need a last minute emergency babysitter, etc. So is it normal to try to make friends and be a good friend mainly so you have people who can help you (and people you can help, too!)? I really don't usually enjoy the company of others!
Mutual support is a valid form of friendship and you don't have to go beyond that to have and sustain these types of relationships. You needn't feel guilty about who you are (a bit of a home body who enjoys their privacy) but someone who recognizes that you need people for mutual and practical help too.
honestly, i am the same way, but for a purpose. i live in a very small town, and everyone is just so fake. my friends use me to the fullest, so ive resorted to only being with my family and boyfriend, and call on my friends when i need them for something. i am doing unto them as they do unto me.
