Question

Hi my name is Chanel am, 18 and am from New York!

before I was a very outgoing, Sociable, talkative person that was not shy of anything! I use to make friends so easily and just be very out going!

But now am a very shy person I don't interact with my peers I stay at home a lot and I don't talk to no one! at school it's even worst because since I started h.s. like I just changed from being this happy person to now being sad or depressed!

in school I work by my-self and I don't have any friends and some of my teachers, my mom and my doctor see that as a problem!

so my question is is it bad to not socialize with my peers or other people??

and do you think my behavior is normal??

because in school and at home everyone thinks am some type of Zombie

thanxs so very much!!!!

*please no rude answers*

Answer 1

i have the exact same problem.. i dont see it as too bad.. its just how ppl get at certain stages of life ^_^ nothin to worry about.. but try and make some friends anyway ull be happier

Answer 2

I&#039;m the exact same way but i seem to be fine. Idk if its a good thing or not but its worked for me.

Answer 3

Well just ask yourself why you used to be sociable and not any more. Did something happen? It all depends on if you like your timid nature or not. See, I&#039;m also 18 and I&#039;m outgoing but yet shy at times. I don&#039;t make friends with every-oneee but I love meeting new people. I wouldn&#039;t like constantly being alone. At times yes, always no. But, if you like it I don&#039;t see a problem with it but you shouldn&#039;t feel sad or depressed, that&#039;s not normal. If you are content being happy it&#039;s one thing but feeling sad or depressed, no one should always feel like that! I would say that it&#039;s not normal that you have NO friends, you need at least 1 close friends and a lot of times that&#039;s enough, but you need that one person to keep you sane. You don&#039;t need to be a social butterfly but you should interact with people sometimes. There&#039;s nothing wrong with wanting to be alone but soon you&#039;ll be at a point in your life where you want a boyfriend and a marriage and children and that won&#039;t happen if you don&#039;t make an effort to meet new people. I say balance your lifestyle. Go out a little every once in a while but keep your alone time also.  

Answer 4

it depends if your happy with a more indepent lifestyle. some people like that. try to make at least one friend because they do add more to life or if you just don&#039;t want other people to worry, talk to a couple people in front of teachers or parents. it&#039;ll make them feel better.

Answer 5

it is bad unless you live in New York where rude and anti-social is the norm.

Answer 6

you don&#039;t have any friends??? awww im so sad, everyone needs a friend.     : [      I&#039;ll be your friend.  but seriously, slowly approach someone, like maybe during lunchtime, which is during school, and ask someone if you can sit with them.  Hopefully they say yes, and you make some friends.

put a smile on    : ]

Answer 7
