Why have i become so anti-social?
You have to break out of your shell and explore the world. We humans by nature are intuitive creatures and desire to love and be love by others. Being at home by yourself will never accomplish this. Take baby steps like talking to random people that you find interesting, or taking different routes to your job or grocery store. Anything to break the routine cycle will help you. Who knows you might find yourself the life of the party without knowing how you got there.
Why am I becoming so antisocial?
I have a big group of friends. But lately I've been contributing much less to the conversation. I've been by myself quite a bit and the friends that weren't close to me became acquaintances-just mere classmates to me. Now I can't even keep up a conversation without stopping mid-sentence because I forgot what I was going to say or saying something stupid. I've become depressed and the only reason why I don't self harm is because I don't want anybody to find out. Just today my best friend slapped me hard on the face because I spilled water on her. My other best friend is socializing with my other friends and has been ignoring me, and leaving me out. I don't know why I even bother to show up at the usual lunch table anymore if nobody's going to acknowledge me or listen what I have to say. I have horrible grades no matter how hard I try, and I'm not very pretty or talented. I am socially awkward and I can't go to school anymore without feeling the need to cry. I've been thinking a lot recently about how I should kill myself. I don't deserve to live. I'm just an ugly stupid thing who can't even talk normally to other people to save my life. I'm sorry that this is long, but I really need to get this all out. Is there anybody out there who is kind enough to help me cope with this loneliness and sadness?
I think I'm becoming antisocial?
Taylor is correct. People misunderstand the term "antisocial" and think it refers to somebody who has an aversion to social situations, or prefers to be alone. I teach special education, and it is somewhat common for people with Autism spectrum disorders to exhibit some antisocial characteristics, such as believing that while other students have to obey the rules at school, they are somehow unique and the rules do not apply to them. There was an incident at my school once where another teacher (a general ed teacher who was not aware of this student's problems) saw a student in the hall talking on his cell phone in the hall, and long story short he got really pissed that she was trying to tell him that he could not talk on his phone in the hall at school, he totally flipped his lid, tried to attack the teacher, and it took two security guards to hold him down, and after the incident he was still unable to understand that what he had done was wrong and why, and was convinced that he was well within his rights for jumping a teacher who told him that cell phones are not to be used at school. That's antisocial (albeit less extreme than the serial killer type antisocial people Taylor describes, haha). It is normal for kids your age to be socially awkward. Try hanging out with different types of people, and you will find a group of kids who like and accept you for who you are, and you will probably eventually grow out of much of this awkwardness. It's hard growing up, but you'll be fine! Keep your chin up (yeah I know that sounds dorky, but there it is).
I've become anti-social, what do I do?
Two years ago, I had tons of friends, and a place to go every weekend and sometimes weeknights. I was such a social butterfly, and loved meeting new people and going places. Then I started having a few minor health problems, I was bullied for a long time and it wasn't around last year that I finally did something about her, and my mom lost her fiance who had been living with us for a while. After the whole thing with that girl, I tried to get my social life back and I did catch up with some good friends and gradually I began to get to know knew people again. But now, though I love hanging out with people, by the end of the night I sometimes find myself counting how long until it's over, and when I get home I'm so *exhausted* physically and mentally that I don't want to hang out with people for another two weeks. Keeping tons of friends has becoming tiring to keep up with as well. I really dislike talk to people through text or IM and find myself avoiding going on stuff like facebook or MSN or even avoiding talking to my friends outside of school. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, we always have tons to talk about, but then when the opportunity comes to hang out with them, I find myself reluctant. I don't get why. I love spending time on my own, and never get bored in my house. I'm the kind that can sit and draw for hours, play a video game, or sit with a nice book. But I do that all of the time, I don't get why I want to keep doing that instead of going out with my friends who I don't see much. When I do go out, I have a blast, but then when I go out to try to kick the anti-social habit, I just shrink back and withdraw. Why did this happen? What exactly can I do because even though I'm so anti-social and don't mind spending time on my own, there's still that me that wants to hang out with my friends and get that old me back, you know? I'm sorry that this is long and may not make sense, but this has really been getting to me. Any advice helps!
I've slowly become antisocial?
I feel my life is drifting, and I have no control over that. I'm slowly becoming antisocial.. I didn't use to be like this, I had a lot of friends in the past which I had a lot of fun with. Now I don't know what is happening to me.. I'm losing my mental sanity.. WHAT CAN I DO???
