Does anyone else feel this way?

[OoO JellyBean OoO]

I want to make friends and be closer with my family..
But i simply don't care about them and there life's..
I'm not interested in getting know people..

Am i the only one like this :S

Same here I don't even bother to get to know people but want friends *shrugs*

Same. I'm always finding myself angry for not making new friends when I could have or for not putting some much needed effort into my dwindling relationship with my family and 'friends', etc.. but then I realise I honestly couldn't give two f***s and that's that.
Perhaps that's my problem, a lack of empathy and interest for everyone and everything around me and perhaps I should fix that, but I really can't be bothered to do so...

this is just my opinion....

but i feel like a lot of people with sa pretend that they don't care about making friends/ getting close to people because the fear of judgment or rejection is just too much to handle.

I broke up with my ex a few months ago- and i could really care less about being his friend (even though he will message me occasionally) truthfully, my life sucks, and his doesn't- so i have no interest in talking to him.

it's a cycle- i feel like i don't deserve friends because im a loser- i;m a loser because i hardly socialize,

but sometimes you'd be surprised what a simple hi can do

I think it's not that you don't care...it's that you care so much that you don't. You make yourself numb to that feeling..This is the way it is with me anyway, and I'm only guessing this is probably the same for you. I know that I don't have any empathy or feel so disconnected and like a stranger to people at times because I feel like I myself am like an alien. I feel like I'm not good enough, like they are living on a different world to me, socialising for fun whereas socialising for me, is incredibly hard and painful. I'm learning not to compare myself with other people though and just to do the things in life that I enjoy. I think it's so true when they say people will only like you if you like yourself - when you treat yourself with as much care as you would give another person, then can you truly socialise and make friends- just by not caring what others' think and putting yourself first. I think low self esteem is definitely the reason that you feel this way.
