anti social

anyone suffer from it a bit?

im totally anti social. yeah i have social anxiety, but even if i didnt have it i dont think i would be very social. or maybe i would. i dont even know anymore :?

Often there are times where i dont even feel like being social at parties and i actually want to be somewhere alone, this happes all the time, although its because i feel i come across as an idiot in conversations ..

there are certain people that are wired and built to talk alot and charm, humour people, i try but i'll get blank weirded out looks instead of the other

I have always been shy but since early teenage I feel that I have really gotten to be anti social. I don't spend time with anyone anymore. I am really boring. I have like no social interrests. I can't keep a common conversation going people have been mentioning that I am quiet all my life. I don't know what to talk about. I have nothing to talk about and I'm not interrested in much to talk about.

same here. I can't hold convos because im too busy worrying about the fact they will know i am socially inept.

But if it wasn't because of that, could you hold them? Can you talk to people over msn? I can hardly even do that. It has to be some special subject for that.

I think I just generally enjoy being alone and away from people.

I don't know whether i am anti-social o'r whether it's the fact that i feel more comfortable alone.

We can all talk and hold conversations in my opinion.. But i think that we're either too depressed or for some reason we examine everything we say b4 we say it.. If only we didn't have that voice in the back of our heads telling us we're not good enough, or not worthy of anything..(social/friendship wise) If i could just not judge myself so much in every little detail, life would prbly turn out to be alright.. :? I wish it was just an attitude that i could workon and overcome, but life isn't that simple!


"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open."

i certainly struggle about being antisocial. I have for like 7 years now and it certainly didn't make high school the "best years of my life' like everyone said. now im running into a rather odd problem that now ive told some of my close friends about my SA and now i can't help but feel they are only hanging out wiht me because of it. I know its completely ridiculous because they have been good friends for quite a few months and only know about this for like a week. But i still can't get this out of my mind and now its sometimes even just trying seeing them and the last thing i want to do is act antisocial around the few good friends that i have

I don't see myself as anti-social. Though, I've always thought to myself that I have what I like to call a 'low social threshold.' I believe that everyone has there own threshold for how much socialization they crave/tolerate/need/want (what have you..) Every once in a blue moon, I will feel like going out or doing something with someone. And, I much prefer one-on-one interaction - than groups. I usually only have 1 or 2 friends at a time. But anti-social makes me think more of someone who is against socialization completely, etc. I am not that- I, too, crave being social. But, I just have a much lower desire for it than others. And, I am okay with that!
