I enjoy being alone but when I'm around people I act different
80% Normal
6 Comments

Well I do enjoy being around SOME people like 1 or 2 people is more than enough to hang out with I don't really know the concept of best friend.. as in I never had one (Online I do have one but it's not the same) when I'm around with more than 4-5 people I just sit back and not talk.

When we're in gatherings I just disconnect to my own world of day dreaming and not pay attention to anything around me the only time I might talk is when I'm being addressed to and people don't see me as weird but I do feel weird and like an outcast sometimes..

When I get too close to people I will ruin the friendship.. I feel like it's my fault my true personality is not for normal people is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

Do something ridiculous, all the time. some thing so odd that it's funny. I used to have the same problem. then I started walking around with a piece of celery. I used to be nervous about things. I'd be in a group of friends, sitting quietly, until I noticed I had a piece of celery in my hand. it was so ridiculous that I seemed weird sitting quietly with this piece of celery, and I'd probably seem funny if I actually said a few witty things then you could be considered as kind of a funny guy.

I know how you feel, but I recently overcame my shyness, although I'm not sure how.

If you try to show your true personality to people from the beginning, that should immediately help both parties to determine whether or not you would be compatible in a friendship. It never helps to hide everything completely away, even if you show just a little personality, such as a few interests, it will help.
