Am i weird?

Ive always been shy and quiet.. I've never had a boyfriend and im 23, but to be honest ive only just started to 'start' life, ive only just started going out drinking and that only happens once every few months.. Ive only just got to grips with speaking to people without anxiety...
The thing is ive never had a lot of mates, I work at the family business which I love but it limits me meeting new people, ive tried groups, and classes, I go to an art class which I love but theres no younger people there which I could meet socially with. I meet up with a friend from school now and again and I have an odd friend ive met through the gym etc..
And to me this seems enough, I have phases where I stay in and game too.
But everyone else my age is dating and going out every night etc and its just not my thing but why, why am I different? It brings me down and I feel im letting my parents down which I hate.

So is it normal?

    You mean you don't go to clubs were they play shit music, too loud, and people just stare at each other and act like world class dickheads!?

    I don't think it's weird. You're figuring out who you are, which isn't a bad thing. I say do whatever works for you. However, speaking from experience, the thing about quiet and reserved personality types, we don't like taking risks when we need to. It sounds like you will have to step out of your comfort zone to get where you want to, which I'm sure you are figuring out.

    That's good to hear you are starting to go out socializing, be aware that you don't need to drink to excess to have fun.
    Your question is it normal now starting at 23? According to what you described yourself, before this age, yes.

    Some people are just late bloomers. I was never into that stuff earlier like it seemed like a lot of people always were... I'm still not very into the social 'game' so to speak. It's ok to be different, just do your own thing and try to be happy :)
