I don't like interacting?

Question

Okay,is it weird that i'm 14 years old and I don't really like interacting with any other people?(Parties and stuff like taht).Why is this?Is it weird?

Answer 1

No it's not weird my daughter likes to be by herself too. She just likes to be at home.

Answer 2

It isn't weird at all, dear. I'm like that when I was 14 too. I have friends, but then I don't open to anyone else. If I talk to someone, that's just it, it won't happen again. I think you're friendly but you are cautious about making new ones. You don't trust anyone that easily. And with the parties, maybe you don't want to hangout on events like that because there are so many people you don't know and you're not comfortable with that. Just take things slowly, a step at a time. Get to know your friend's friends, that's easier though because you have a common friend and that you may have similarities. Then, you can have more people that you are comfortable with. Then. when you're easy with that, you slowly will be able to open yourself up to others. Don't rush things. :)

Answer 4

if you dont like going to parties n stuff like that, then thats fine - but if you just dont like talking and meeting other people , then its kinda .. not weird , just means your kind of a nerd :]

Answer 5

You are probably an introvert

introverted people do not like large groups of people

they do better one on one

if you are forced to be in a party setting

try to focus on one person that you know and just talk to them

you are not weird you are just not a super social person

if you want to be social and are just shy you need to work on it  

Answer 6

its not being weird, its just not wanting to be a part of the crowd which could sometimes be a crowd which do not have a brain, however in those times you chose not to interact, i wish you read books and learned about other stuff about life so you would be able to appreciate that attitude of yours.

Answer 7

im 17 and im just like you.u r perfectly normal .there is nothing wrong with been who you want to be and if staying by yourself is wat u want then that make u perfectly normal.the thing to not do is to live in the shadows of other ppl.if u dont want to party jus dont.i am perfectly fine.i only got like 2 real good frenz n seldomn talk to other ppl .thats just me.nothing wierd about been urself sweetie

Answer 8

No, don't worry about it.  I was that way until I was around 18 or so, it didn't bother me.  Sometimes it could bother your friends, but I think you're okay.

Answer 9

Some people just naturally dont like other people.

Answer 10

Some people just aren't as social as others.  It could just be your personality.  Or maybe it is something linked to low self-esteem?  If that's the case, you'll probably grow out of it.

Answer 11

it's NOT weird.

i'm the same way.

we just don't need people.

nor we have anything to say to them.

we're not stuck up, we just like to be alone. =)

Answer 12

There is nothing wrong with being a leader and not a sheep that needs to fit in. You have a mind of your own and you like to spend time with yourself.  

Answer 13

not really weird,you might just be a too-yourself type of person,or you could be going through a stage,im 14 im halfway like that but its only because i am selfconcious.

Answer 14

hey, im about you age too, I do like to be with friends, but only one or two, I dont like to go to parties either, is this kind of what you are like?

Answer 15

not really, it could just be your age and you will grow out of it, or it could be you are an introvert and don't feel the incessant need for other people's company.  i'm the same way.  if you are comfortable with who you are than it's o.k. most folks are just that way, they are sociable and really need the company, introverts don't feel that need.  just be true to yourself.

Answer 16

that's called being anti-social, but in a while you'll start to grow out of it, it's fine, you just have to keep living life as normal as you can

Answer 17

you may have an anti-social disorder. set up an appt.. to c your doctor. i became very withdrawed when i was 13 yrs. i went to c my family doctor. after several test ; i was diagnosed w/an anti-social disorder. i take meds. on a regular basis, and i am fine. i finished high school, and got my diploma. i went on to a college & continued school until i got my master's. i know work as a paralegal. so, pleaese don't give up. u can do it.use your time to study litherature and the law.

u don't have to interact right now, there's plenty of time. just remember to get in the books

study, study, study!

Answer 18

i am exactly like you.

except im 13.

i never go to dances, parties, or anything.

idk why, its just that i hate drama.

and people. in general ;]

Answer 19

I'm kinda like that.  I just hang out with my gf.  I don't go out of my way to meet new people.

Answer 20

It's not weird. Boatloads of people are like that. I am too.

For me it's easier to let them come to me first, because usually I don't have to say much. :)

Answer 21

Its just you. Why do you like one food and not the other.  Nope not at all. Noone has to interact with others, it's not the law that others must have you interact with them. Rejoice in your life.

Answer 22

Not weird. I don't either all the time. I value my time.

Answer 23

It's not weird at all. I am only a couple years older then you and I really like having me time. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, I have about 4 best friends who are the only people I hang out with. I talk to other people but those are the only people that I love being around. It's not weird. :)

Answer 24

Some people are just not social people.  I know I'm not.  It's fine not to want to be a party girl, just try not to close yourself off completely.

Here's my question:  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 25

There will come a time when you will want to get involved in parties etc...but perhaps right now the parties that are going around you are just not your type of parties.    I didn't start partying until I was 18 years old and at that time I was more responsible as well and felt more confident going out and socializing.   Being 14 years old or 18 years old is just a number, it really comes down to how you feel and act with others around you that counts.   Enjoy the things that you like to do now and it will come to you when you are ready...enjoy 14!!!!  

Answer 26

You are just reserved, nothing to feel upset over. It will help though, for when you get older, to start reaching out to people. Day to day experiences need to involve some communication, thats how you make memories and friends. I felt like that once too, but i started to shake it off and hang out with people, now to this day, I go to parties with my close friends and still have no need to impress anyone or feel the need to force interaction. Try to find someone quiet like yourself, and as the relationship expands, so will your social-skils.  

Answer 27

Nope. Not weird at all. If this continues past the age of 18, then you've got yourself a problem.

Answer 28

Same. I'm wicked quiet at parties and school, but that's why I have no friends because I'm a 'kept to myself' kind of person.

Answer 29

No it isn't. Usually it's because the other people aren't interesting.

Answer 30

I don't want to jump to conclusions and say you have a mental disorder but you may want to look into it.

Answer 31

That's exactly how I am. ; ) And of course it's normal. Just like there's people who like seafood and people who don't, or people who like to drink alcohol and people who can't stand it. Your parents should be happy you're like that, ha ha.
