I hate spending time with other people
78% Normal
3 Comments

When I was depressed everyone abandoned me, no one wanted to be around me - understandably.

Now, I'm happy and I want to go out and do things, have fun. Everyone I know is too miserable and moody to want to go out (except to bars and clubs).

I'm starting to really not like spending time with other people.

I can empathize with people, I want them to do well and be happy but I can't take the negativity and the apathy from them. They mope about and I sit there bored out of my skin but I can't even stand the clubs and bars they like to go to.

I want to learn and see the world.
Do you think it's normal?

You need to find new people!

Join a club. It is WONDERFUL that you are motivated to learn and to see the world. These are two things that motivate me most too :)
Try finding a book. Go to a bookstore and spend the whole afternoon browsing leisurely until you find just the right inspiring read. Until you meet the kind of friends you deserve, let books substitute. They'll take you places and teach you things.

You may not be able to take the negativity and apathy away, but you can talk to them about it. Try to see what's got them all down in the dumps. You say that everyone you know is miserable and moody. Do you have any idea what would be causing an entire group of people to be upset? Also, you said that they only like going out to bars an clubs. Alcohol is a depressant and will definitely make any feelings of misery worse. The atmosphere of a bar isn't the most uplifting either. If they are just plain unwilling to do any other activities, wait it out and try to be happy with yourself. There's nothing that says that you must have a bunch of people around you in order to have a good time.
