Hello everyone! So my question is...Is it normal I don't have many friends and I don't really care? My husband and I literally have one couple we hang out with every now and then. (maybe once a month) I have known this friend, and the couple for years. But it's not even like we talk on the phone or text every day. I have coworker "friends". But we don't really hang out outside of work. I also don't miss people. I miss my husband and my children when I haven't seen them, but not others. I am really bad at keeping in touch with people that I tell I will. I don't know if it's the fact that I am a hairstylist has anything to do with it because I talk to people all day so I don't feel like being social after work, or if it's just the fact that I am a total introvert. I do like doing things outside of my house unlike some introverts. Such as dinner, shopping, entertainment, ect. It's just that I'd rather do it with my family. People just feel draining to me sometimes. Please help! I wanna be normal! Lol - Shelly

    Totally normal. I have a handful of friends and they know me well enough to know that we are still good friends even when we have no contact for weeks or months at a time. I recently went over a year without talking to the woman I consider my best friend since 8th grade. She understands. I also feel drained by too much interaction and prefer to be alone. I am perfect company for myself.
    When I do venture out, I get so sick of hearing about Facebook drama, gossip and all that shit. I ain't got time fo dat!

        Bless you child. You just described me in a few years if I changed my sex. But for now I feel completely, and I mean completely!, the same. I'm on a long holiday (summer holiday for ya'll westerners) and I have felt absolutely no need to meet with friends from school. I just chill at home and meet with my girlfriend from time to time. And I am absolutely content with that.

    Very normal. Having a lot of "friends" is usually not something that is actually true. Some people are just outgoing and because of that they tend to attract those that aren't as outgoing.

    Considering someone a "close" friend usually takes some time. Sometimes years.
