Is it normal to not want to have friends?

[marycruz]

I've tried having friends and being social but its exhausting and annoying, and most of the time I cant be myself around these people without being judged or called a freak or weird. Im also not going to pretend to be someone im not. Is this normal?

The best/easiest way to make friends for me is to join a club of people that have similar interests, for example a sports team, theater computer group etc.

Nope just means you are trying to be friends with the wrong people...their are people for people and their are people who other people just can't match with.. you being odd puts you either at the bottom of the social pyramid or way up their at the top..either way you are either not noticed or the talk of the town if you dont fit in with normal society.... Your like me I dont care to ahve friends either..But not for those reasons that people think I am a freak..though some people do but because I have no time nor do I care for gossip... All the who is doing what and when they are doing it really doesnt make me skip glee like it does all the chicken heads out their... I am odd though but I balance it with sex appeal lol but either way im anti social...I rather study then talk to someone..geekish as the sounds its me lol plus my interest in uncommon things like spirituality and things of that matter also separate me from people... They are all nothing but media filled robots whyll I see myself as the only human walking among them lol weird see but you are not alone in that thought of not careing for friends...the only thing they are good for is drama which is a waist of time

YES of course its normal im just like you, when i used to have friends people always called me weird and just never understood me and im not going to fake my personality or who i really am for a bunch of people. so what you are doing is actually right DON'T ever pretend to be someone else just to impress people be yourself.
also (my opinion) I find it better to be alone because then no one can tell you what to do or u don't have to do things just to impress people and not be yourself so they don't talk about you or call you a freak or weird, so do what you want and never change yourself for someone just be yourself.
