I'm 19. I was never the kid to have many friends. After Highschool my group all went into their separate ways except for me and this girl. We hang out every now and then but sometimes I just want to be alone. I want to go out and do things! But some days I just want to chill by myself at home. People can annoy me very easily. But, I respect everyone. I smile at everyone who looks at me. I say hello here and there to others. I would LOVE to find a relationship. But right now in my life I could care less about hanging out. Some days I'll get the feeling of wanting to go somewhere and my friend and I will hang out but other days I just want to chill alone. I fought through depression in high school. It was bad. I'm not sure if I'm pushing people away or this is just a temporary thing. It's like one of those feelings you can't help but feel. Is this normal?

    Im the sme age as you. I think Im having the same situation. Id rather spend time alone than being exposed in public. Spending time alone gives me time to think and time to recharged myself. I hang out with my few friends sometimes but theres only one I could really trust. Im experiencing depression too. Im really quiet, and its kind of weird that people still approach me even if im not that friendly. Lovelife is something I wish to come but when guys approached and talked to me I feel so awkward. I have OCD, that explains my anxiety and depressions

    the times when you just want to spend time with yourself, do you feel content or lonely?

        I think he meant to ask you which one of the two that you DO feel; contrary to whether you do or don't feel EITHER of the two.

        I should have phrased that question better, but being by yourself is only a problem if you feel lonely. if you feel content/satisfied, that's like recharging as howlsilver on this page said, and it's part of being an introvert

        everyone has off days where they just want to be by themselves. I have at least one such day every week, and it makes the rest of the week great. so it's nothing to worry about

          I don't feel lonely. I'm actually happy and relaxed when I'm alone.

    I can relate to what you are saying young dude. Check out what I just posted not more then ten minutes ago. It's titled: Alone again . . . naturally. I'm older than you and have been through a lot. Please, please do not end up like me. A cold hearted bastard with no desire to have a friend except when the need for sex with a female occurs. Which will happen more often than you may think at your young age. Read my post, dude. Then ask yourself if that is how you want to live your life. I don't think that I'll ever change. BUT YOU CAN. I do prefer to be alone. But some of the time that really sucks. In a big way. Read my post. Leave a comment. Get better. Ciao.

    It's part of growing up :)

    I think that's just how it happens,
    my friends also went their separate ways pretty much sometime after high school.
    There were a few that still wanted to hang out, some that never called again, etc., but I found myself with only a couple friends that I hung out with from time to time. Being alone was useful as it helped with studying, relaxation, and self exploration. I think it's healthy!
