I feel very comfortable with it, because it's not condition, just my personal choice. Yes i have been betrayed by friends, boyfriend and all, most times, there's peace just being by yourself but i know sometimes, there is no just reason when there is an event and i dont go but still i end up not going, i may feel guilty i mossed the event but that is about it. maybe there is a reason, maybe i am hurt or something but for now most times, i like my me time a lot. Who says it is compulsory pr necessary to always be out up and going with friends. I have a whole lot of them but most times i find myself not answering their calls all the time or looking for excuses so i dont hang out or something. just stay , watch tv, then when i feel so bored, i could go out. my brothers r complete extrovert is that y i should be compared to them?

Errr . . . I'm kinda err . . close to being anti-social. But I try to get out of my shell once in a while.

Am a grade A antisocialist sorry to say you are if this fits u.
1.You have friends but don't hang out with them cuz either they don't bother themselves much about you or just becuz you just want to relax alone.
2.You're a deep thinker infact after a dilemma is solved you think of the next or not just problems even forthcoming events.
3.You find it easy to give reasons not to attend events and hard to find reasons to attend.
4.Out of majority of your friends you don't know thier birthdays or even surnames.
5.Also all humans get depressed but we antisocialist get too depressed due to the complex environment we situate in.Are you open in crowds like e.g church but left to me there are levels of being antiSOCIAL and you are on a path to one, lastly do you find it easy not to trust pple or paranoid when pple borrow your things.

Sorry to bring up this fading thread, I just wanted to correct the wrong use of the word 'antisocial'.
The personality she described herself as having is not an antisocial one. Antisocial people have much worse characters. Antisocial can be used to describe psychopaths or sociopaths, people with antisocial personality tend to display a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of other people's rights. This behaviour, or antisocial behaviour is linked to adult criminal behaviour such as deliberate destruction of property, fire setting and frequent lying and stealing and other behaviours that trivialize the importance of the needs of other people in the society, and don't really have introvertedness as a central feature.
The type of person she described herself as is more of an 'avoidant type'. Features of people with an avoidant personality are: having relationship problems, being suspicious of others, sensitive, aloof/isolated, self-absorbed, self-critical, overly emotional/hypersensitive to rejection, anxious/tense,. Tendency to have few or no close friends, frequently feeling depressed. As a substitute, many take refuge in an inner world of fantasy and imagination.
Phew!
People confuse avoidant for antisocial a lot.
But don't snob them, those of you who are not similar to them. Relate with them the way you relate with others. And don't be giving conditions for being normal please! (70% out, 30% in). We don't all have one preference and our lives' experiences and histories are different. Finally because all this the prejudice and unrealistic standards set as a yardstick for normalcy don't need to be increased.
One luv.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You did not choose to be that way, you didnt make urself into what u are did you?
By the way, I think the fact that your mom hassles you because of this is sad, but she is probably just trying to turn you to a better person, hence her constantly pressuring you to change with the way she treats you. Does not necessarily mean she wants to make things difficult for you.
Overall, living life this way can be hard. Outgoing people tend to think they are way better than introverts and sometimes let them know what they think, hurting them in the process. But then again, there is the thing about everybody being different that they should take into consideration.
