Is it normal to just abandoning your friends all of the sudden
50% Normal
7 Comments

I sometimes have this strange urge to just stop meeting or talking and just cut all connection with all of my friends for even just a few months. I've done it for a whole week couple of times and when they call or email or whatever I don't get back to them. I feel like I don't need friends or I don't want any, and like through out my life I never had a best friend, had couple of good friends but never a best friend. So I don't know if it's just being too independent or is it antisocial of me? Is it normal to feel this way?
Do you think it's normal?

nope, not really normal. Its one thing to like peace and quite...or even taking a vacation by yourself, but you'll get bored.

bro you have no idea how normal that is well unless you dont have a artistic bone in your body but i have a very imaginative spirit and i use it as an outburst for my drawings or anything playing guitar as long as you have that imaginative spirit you'll keep the fountain of youth

AHHH this is exactly what I do! I thought I was the only one.. Sometimes I just cut off connection with my friends, don't want to talk to them or hang out with them. I just want to be by myself. Then I will go back to hanging out with them.. then the cycle happens again! I don't know why.. its just like I want to be by myself. And often I find my friends disappoint me.. I don't really know how to explain it. It just make me feel like a really bad friend. Right now i'm kind of avoiding everyone actually, I know it's not fair to them, but I cant help it.

I'm shocked that so many other people do this. I thought I was just really abnormal with relationships, because I keep on doing this! I can't help it either and I feel like a really crappy friend.
I just find it so easy to isolate myself even though I know that it'll make me feel like shit.
