Why does my mom think I'm anti social?

[154]

My mom is starting to think I'm anti social because I don't ever have friends over or something like that I've not seen a doctor to say that I'm anti social I don't think I'm anti social because for 1 I want to have people over at my moms house it's just that I moved to a new school thank god I went to a new school anyway yeah there's a few people from my old school wich was awful but really I'm to shy to ever talk to people but I really want to talk to them I talk to some people at my old school and I've been talking to a few at my new school with Facebook but really I don't think I'm anti social am I really would I need a doctor to prove it and also a thing you should know about my mom she has said lots of things most of them did get me in lots of trouble at my old school like telling my old school I lie a lot and that I say lots of stuff for people to listen to me none of the thing she says about me is ture so am I anti social or not

Funny thing is people don't know what the definition of Anit Social is and it is not someone who doesn't have any friends or who does not socialize with people.

People can also be introverted or extroverted. Maybe your Mom is an extrovert who just doesn't understand why someone might not feel "social" all the time. Introverts can be really drained from too much social interaction. There can be some benefits to being an introvert - usually they are great listeners, can be very analytical, etc. Here's an excellent article about it:

There's also an excellent book called "The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World" by Marti Olsen Laney. It's a great read and might really help you understand yourself better!

It's really hard to go to a new school and meet people all over again. Anyone would struggle with that at first. It's totally normal.

Best of luck!

She thinks you are anti social because she doesn't see you interacting with other people. You probably spend most of your time at home in your room and you don't talk to her much. If that's true its normal to think that someone who does that is indeed anti social. Also social networks such as “Facebook” or “Skype” is not interacting.

But you can change that. Are you one of these people who are afraid to say anything in stores/shops? Even if you really need something? Are you afraid of talking to boys/girls because you don’t know what to say? That’s there you start. I’m afraid to say this but only “cure” for being anti social is talking to people and actually making friends. Start by going to shops and asking random people random questions like: “Excuse me do you know where i could find “milk” or “cheese”(if you are in grocery store)? I know it sounds stupid but try it. Smile and be positive. After few days you will feel much more prepared to talk to new people.

Now what hobbies do you have? Again this sounds stupid but its important. If you really like something for example “skateboarding” it will be much easy er to talk about it. Go to places where these people gather. If you don't have any hobbies and your only hobbie is video games try skateboarding. Just do it. Its actually really good way to meet new people and find new friends while also being outside. Go to youtube and watch some videos about it. Start from learning how to ride correctly how to do ollie and 180. If you are afraid of people seeing that you “suck” at skateboarding begin your training in places with no people around like parks or parking lots. All this information on how to start could be easily found in internet. Most of people who stake is guys so if you are a guy you will have no problem BUT if you are a girl it will be even easier because skateboarding girls are cool! You will see

The main thing is DO SOMETHING. If you're waiting for people to come to you they probably wont. You have to make the effort & go to them. Hope this helps.
