Question

Is it bad to be anti social?

Answer 1

It's a entirely different world when you aren't. It's more fun and human interaction is essential. Why do you think there are so many people! lol  Make yourself do things you wouldn't normally do. No one ever said it would be easy. But I'm sure you've got it in you! Best of Luck! :)

Answer 2

A Little but if you aren't up to being social why push your self?!?!?

I'm feeling anti~social, the longer i do not get out of this house!! My friends have stopped emailing me, and they don't ring me any more, It wasn't my fault i just didn't want to hang out, but have payed the price!!

I don't always like the attention, I'm one to stay at the back or side watching wishing i was having fun!!

Answer 3

well, it kind of decreases your friends list, but as long as you're happy and not depressed, you're fine.

Answer 4

no hun! definatly not. see, this is in otherwords call being shy lol.

I mean being shy defintaly had its negitives but its not "wrong."

one way you can try to fix being "anti social" is have a small group of friends. Talk to some people, make conversations, sometimes you have more to gain if you step out of your comfert zone.

Its not bad. At all, but sometimes you miss out on life a little bit.

Try to talk to a few people, not alot, but just small amounts to start off with even if you do feel uncoomfterable.

Answer 5

anti social people normally turn into freaks when they are older

Answer 6

It's bad to be anti-social if that means you are upsetting others or damaging their property,,but if you mean in the sense that sometimes you just want to be left alone then that is perfectly acceptable :-)

Answer 7

that depends on what you want to do for a living

a tech company - all of them nerds are anti-social

hotel - you need to have good people skills

p**n - you don't really have to talk. it's more just moaning.  

Answer 8

Surely that depends on who you're being anti social to.

You get far more satisfaction when you are nice to people!

Answer 9

It's not the best thing. Not good when it comes to jobs or college applications because you wouldn't have done any extra curricular activities because you're anti social. I have an anxiety when it comes to talking to people or walking in front of people. It works against me.

Answer 10

No. If no one challenges the system then we have a nation of yes men.

Answer 11

no it is not bad but you might miss out on things in life  and regret it later

Answer 12

No. You're just being yourself. But its good to get out and hang out with friends. Everyone needs 'em.

:]

Answer 13

its not bad but its not good it all depends on how you are i guess... as long as you can talk to someone i guess thats gud enough..

Answer 14

Yes, but then overly charismatic people are just as irritating.

Answer 15

Not really . . .  There's a time and a place for everything.

Answer 16

Hi I am anti social,  I've been anti social all my life, I realized that is not a good thing, but that's the way I am there is nothing I can do.

Answer 17

depends what you mean by anti-social, is it like having BO ?

or like being unsociable, where you dont want to bother with anyone.

first one is, yes its bad

second one is, its ok

Answer 18

It can be.

I had that problem before.

The point is to find a group you'd feel most comfortable hanging out with and come out past your comfort level to make friends.

I did that, and I'm more social then before!

:D

Answer 19

No, it's a good thing

Martha Stewart went to jail and she came back and got 2 TV shows because she was anti-social.

Answer 20

its not a "bad" thing in my opinion. I'm extremely anti-social & shy and sometimes I love it because I get to listen to people and absorb how they are instead of being all loud and obnoxious. Then sometimes I hate it because everyone thinks you're boring or a mute ( I think they mean "mutant ninja turtle" though) haha. So its a love/hate relationship thing. Why, do you think its a bad thing? it all boils down to what you think hon.  

Answer 21

No sweetie but try not to be so closed off, you'll regret it later, trust me

~MLF~

Answer 22

i dont think so. i mean its probly not the best thing, because it makes life richer to enjoy other people and appriciate them. but some people just like to be alone. i like to be alone a lot. im just that type of person. but i wouldnt consider myself anti social. i think its good to be alone a lot, because u dont get morphed into someone u dont want to be because of other people. thats a bit of a controversial question

Answer 23

No. Most social circles consist of people who all try and be like everyone else in their group. Every so often they do something to try and impress the others so as to "climb the social ladder".

It's all superficial B.S., none of it matters & only encourages ignorance & conformity.

If you keep to yourself, you have more opportunity to shape your life as you see fit. You aren't being exposed to human pollution & you can focus on the one thing that means most - YOU.

Answer 24

Not always.  Some live by the expression "It is better to be assumed a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Some also live by the expression "Carpe Diem" which translate to mean "Sieze the day".

It is all about who you are as a person and how comfortable you are with your friends, lack of friends, or willingness to make new friends.  Being anti-social by choice is a lifestyle that many people choose to live and enjoy.

Answer 25

Only if your anti-social pursuits do harm to others.

Answer 26

if one is uncomfortable with being social, then there's nothing wrong with it. sometimes one's just gotta take a deep breath, and talk! people sometimes think it's kinda strange when you don't say ANYTHING at all... we people talk everyday and every night. just think of that, and speak. one doesn't have to be a chatterbox tho ;-)

Answer 27

Depends on how long you're anti-social. Get out every once in a while and hang out with people. Some people are just naturally like this though so don't feel bad.  

Answer 28

some people are just like that... if you don't want to be then its bad.. i used to have a friend who became really anti social over the summer and stayed that way for years, she didn't have a problem with her behavior.. so we stopped being friends.

Answer 29

i wont exactly say its bad but there are downsides to it.

you might not have as many friends or etc.

Answer 30

Yes, even for a short period of time. Get out there and be social!

Answer 31

no it isnt. its just who u are and nobody has the right to tell you that u are bad. My god, the way some ppl act is enough to make anyone anti social.
