As long as you're happy and it doesn't bother you, then there's nothing wrong. Do you ever feel lonely, like you want more friends? If you want friends, but don't have friends, then there is something wrong. If you don't have freinds and don't want friends, that's fine. You need to figure out what made you post this topic, though. Why is it bothering you?
There is nothing wrong with you, the behaviour you describe is typical of a large percentage of people within your age limit. You're just introverted. I'm sure there are some more introverted people like yourself on
KR that will reply. You have a best friend and a boyfriend that you live with. This shows that while you don't yearn for a large amount of friends, you still value the company of other people. Some people just don't bother with the whole "having friends" scene. Your situation makes you sound kind od cool to me. People like you and regard you as the life of the party, but you don't need them around you all the tie to validate yourself. You have your boyfriend and girlfriend who you're close to, and that's fine.
How would you describe the relationship you have with your girlfriend? Are ye close? Do you like spending time with her sometimes as opposed to being alone?
I want friends. But at the same time I am, by definition, introverted. I prefer spending time by myself and keep to myself all the time. I think it's the feeling I get
after a social situation that does it for me. I seem to think that it's the time I spend with other people that matters, as there are "witnesses" to confirm for me what I've done. Being sociable makes me feel productive, like I've made a difference to someone other than myself, so the more social oppertunities that arise the better. But afterwards I'm always relieved and glad to be out of the glare of other people so I can do my own thing. I cherish my alone time. Might sound crazy, but personally I reckon it's perfectly normal. Typical introversion, common of many.
I got very used to being alone over time, so now I find I'm just more comfortable being by myself. The prospect of doing things with other people usually seems like a drag for me, even though I'm very grateful for it. I guess I have this mentallity that they'll prevent me from doing what I want. I'm quite self-preoccupied in that sense. I love going shopping alone too. Whenever I go into town with my friends, it's always a case of me tagging after them for the day. Whereas when I'm by myself, I can decide when to come and go, what to do, etc etc. Movies are a solitary pleasure too. I'd frequently go to the cinema alone, except I don't want people to be all like "look at her on her own LOL", if you get me.
That's not saying I would like to be friendless of course. I can get extremely lonely thinking that no one bothers with me. I love my friends and I've never been happier now I'm more sociable. It's not how much I physically meet them, it's the quality of our friendship. As long as I know that they consider me a friend, I'm happy. At an estimate, I have 6 friends/accquaintances, one of whom I sort-of relate to (but am not particularly close to).
You sound like an interesting, fun person whom I'm sure lots of people would love to be friends with. Think of it this way: At least the problem isn't in reverse. It's not a case of "No one wants to be friends with me", it's a case of "I don't want to be friends with them".
I'm weirded out because I should not be feeling this way at 27.
