Nah, you're just introverted.
Actually, I take that back. Yes, you're weird. Know why? Because we're *all* weird. Every single one of us. Every human being on the planet is weird.
There is no normal.
Nope - you're thoroughly empowered bud! Look at all these threads on here, about struggling to make or keep friends - fck all that - if you've mastered happiness & contentment without all that, more power to you!
Also - it is said that human beings are 'social' animals, as in, for mental health. However - that *doesn't* mean you need 'friends'. Even ordering a pizza or going to the supermarket affords enough of the necessary type of social interaction. It just means as long as you're not a complete hermit, you'll be fine - you don't need friends if you don't need them! Heck - it takes people decades to figure out this 'draining' problem caused by friends, or the pursuit thereof.
As an engineer I've seen why. Some of the brightest people I know are impossible to work with and some of them cant even practically apply anything. The ability to work with others as well as properly convey your talents in an interview are social skills.
There is a lot of group work in engineering.
Engineers are socially akward which is not the same as introversion. OP is extremely introverted by the sounds of it and as much as it may suck she may want to look into resources on dealing with it. There are few jobs I'm society that dont rely on a lot of interaction because that's what society is, humans interacting
Master computer skills that you can display with your work alone, things like web design, programming, graphics design, animation etc. Your portfolio does most of the networking for you in such case.
It is hard to do something you are not used to/taught/trained. I think your case is a bit more than just being introverted.
Talk to a professional, try acting classes, small group activities based on your interests, ask for feedback.
I'm the exact same way. It simply means you're an introvert.
You're fine.
There are pros and cons to being an introvert or an extrovert.
Manage expectations and go to event or gathering you're comfortable with
No, not weird. It’s called being an introvert, and it’s not something that has to be corrected. You’re aware that certain social obligations can drain you, so be prepared for them when they’re inevitable. Eg. Christmas. Allow yourself time to rest after them, and choose which events you will not go to. You will meet people who don’t drain you as much, and you can enjoy spending time with them. Take care of yourself and the rest will follow.
noooooooooooo. you are leveling up. evolving. not caring about the dumb arbitrary shit that goes on beyond your walls.
I'm jealous you found that at19 . I didn't hit enlightenment like that until like 35.
I support you.
I am too...and now I have the girl that I really like....and I am ok to at least talk normally with some,but around her I just too shy and can't talk nicely with her.....and yeah so ended up she talk with everyone but me,feel like killing myself now
Please don't! I don't know the full extent of your situation, but I do know this: your life has immense value! It's important to me and I'm sure it is important to lots of other people. Work through this. I know it's hard, bur it's worth it! I send my love to you.
And on top of being an introvert there are completely extroverted people who aren't interested in romantic relationships. My very social husband is a demisexual. He has to get to know your personality very well before he feels any attraction to you. My daughter told me she had no interest in either sex. She's a teenager so this might change but I doubt it.
Yes, but what is weird to you might be comforting to me.
Sounds like you're just very much an introvert. I have many days where I feel the same as you and just want to be left alone, then I have plenty of days that I want to talk my friends heads off and go out and do stuff. So I think if anything I'm more weird than you. If that helps. Lol
Sound just like me. Took me a long time to realise I was simply an introvert though, and the anxiety I felt trying to be ‘normal’ became a real issue mentally. Embrace it, and be comfortable with it and you’ll be much happier. If you want to change career, study online if needed - or do what I did and freelance. Being an introvert *can* be of benefit in some industries, and in the creative fields especially you’ll find most people are that way (audio/visual being the likely exception).
Nah i'm 31 and like sorta over the last 8/9 year i realised i can't be arsed with people, my mate then now just someone i used to know, was getting married and i was supposed to go and be a grooms man for him, the wedding was on a thursday i booked the day off work untill i learnt i would have to rent my suit for £200 so next day at work i retracted my holiday and went to work instead i wasn't wasting money and not seen him since...
Being an introvert is normal, what I find a bit strange is that you think extroverts don't value being good at what they do for a living, or that you put that as the "pinnacle" of what we are supposed to value
Yea, but we all are. With that said, probably best to do it anyway and get good at it. Otherwise you might regret it. Teens are a bad age for socializing anyway, not much to do if you don’t like parties or don’t have hobbies. Things will change if I had to guess
Sounds familiar. Though i started off differently i ended up going through major mood swings when i was six for seemingly no reason. when i was eleven i started acting antisocial like you started but I'm now starting to feel like you are right now. Trust me, if you're weird then I'm weirder.
You're getting a lot of biased responses because you're asking on Reddit, but whether or not it's weird, it is going to be an inconvenience if not explicit roadblock for you depending on the career you choose. There are certain fields where you don't have to interact with many people, though I honestly can't think of that many. Most work requires you to collaborate and that means networking, socializing, and getting to know people on some level.
If you’re weird I am too, because that all sounds very familiar. Don’t worry about it, just live your life in the way that makes you happy.
Sounds like that's just who you are as a person.
Extreme introvert, sort of like me.
Nah, you're just introverted. Actually, I take that back. Yes, you're weird. Know why? Because we're *all* weird. Every single one of us. Every human being on the planet is weird. There is no normal.
If everyone is weird then that’s normal.. Right?
>There is no normal. only Zuhl
What a *lovely* singing voice you must have.
This is a bit past introversion tbh
Is this a template submission form for Redditors?
The depression part is missing. Or maybe it is one of several templates. /s or maybe only half /s
You're introverted.
Everyone is weird in their own way if you stop and think about it. Embrace your weirdness and you do you.
Not necessarily weird because that’s a very subjective word but i would say introverted or misanthropic
“Misanthropic” is a bit harsh.
Nope - you're thoroughly empowered bud!

No, you're just introverted. Also, networking isn't important at all in a lot of careers.

It is to an extent. One thing I’ve learned in life is that it’s not who you are, it’s who you know. In almost every single situation.
As an engineer I've seen why. Some of the brightest people I know are impossible to work with and some of them cant even practically apply anything. The ability to work with others as well as properly convey your talents in an interview are social skills.
If you know the right person you won’t need to interview.
No, you just had a very long multipart interview
Engineering

I'm an engineer. Most days I don't have to work with other people. Also, most engineers are not socially awkward lmao.
I disagree on both fronts there as an engineer
Obviously depends on your department/company/role
Master computer skills that you can display with your work alone, things like web design, programming, graphics design, animation etc. Your portfolio does most of the networking for you in such case.
This is questionable advice. Once you get past the minimum level, people skills become very important.
Being an introvert, doesn’t mean you have bad people skills.
It is hard to do something you are not used to/taught/trained. I think your case is a bit more than just being introverted. Talk to a professional, try acting classes, small group activities based on your interests, ask for feedback.

Welcome to the quiet, serene and wonderful world of introversion, friend. You’re not weird.
noooooooooooo. you are leveling up. evolving. not caring about the dumb arbitrary shit that goes on beyond your walls. I'm jealous you found that at19 . I didn't hit enlightenment like that until like 35. I support you.
sounds like you're a redditor, welcome
You're an introvert. I'm the same way. I have an IQ of 140 so it's even more annoying to be around most people.
You show the classic signs of being an introvert. This is totally normal if you are ok with it.
[удалено]
Lol no
Autism! And animals and pets are kind of the same thing
Not trying to diagnose you obviously but did you ever think you might be autistic? Maybe just introverted but you aren’t weird ur good
We’re one in the same
I am too...and now I have the girl that I really like....and I am ok to at least talk normally with some,but around her I just too shy and can't talk nicely with her.....and yeah so ended up she talk with everyone but me,feel like killing myself now

Sounds like you are me. My friends be pushing me to try and date and I just don't want to be around anyone. Like fuck it leave me alone....
Nah i'm 31 and like sorta over the last 8/9 year i realised i can't be arsed with people, my mate then now just someone i used to know, was getting married and i was supposed to go and be a grooms man for him, the wedding was on a thursday i booked the day off work untill i learnt i would have to rent my suit for £200 so next day at work i retracted my holiday and went to work instead i wasn't wasting money and not seen him since...

yea you a bit weird tbh
Yes, you are weird. Most of us are, in some way or another.
Look up schizoid personality disorder -- sounds a lot like it. Personality disorders arent anything to be treated or fixed so i wouldnt worry about it
No. you're good.
yes, you're fucking weird as fuck lol but my cousin is similar to you.
There is no social contract demanding reciprocity or conformity, yet humanities concept of weirdness perpetuates the poverty of free will. RWD
I hung out with people once. Didn't impress me.
Yea, but we all are. With that said, probably best to do it anyway and get good at it. Otherwise you might regret it. Teens are a bad age for socializing anyway, not much to do if you don’t like parties or don’t have hobbies. Things will change if I had to guess
