Can't be bothered to have friends/unsociable
14 Answers
I've been living in this town for 2 years now and I can honestly say I don't have any friends. I work part-time (work with some lovely girls) - they always invite me out if they're having a get together but I always decline as it's not my thing.
I chat to a woman on the school run and she's mentioned meeting up/going out but again I can't be bothered to have a friend.
I am quite happy to chat in work but just to spend time with my husband and daughter on weekends/evenings.
I know this sounds really corny but my mum is really my best friend and I speak to her most nights for an hour or more. I have actually got an old school friend coming to stay this weekend and I had my auntie and her bf over to stay last weekend which was nice. However, I am quite happy to be a 'larry loner' lol. I know my husband thinks I'm a bit odd cause I don't want/need friends and sometimes he wishes we had people to go out with.
Do you think I'm just unsociable? I don't feel that I'm missing out at all. It's my choice to keep myself to myself

The fact is that you probably get all the socialisation that you need by chatting to your colleagues at work. If you didn't work, or worked on your own, you might find that you crave more interaction with others in your own time.
You're happy with the way that you are so there is really not a problem; it's not that you're unfriendly or rude to people is it, you just don't want to go out and about with them?

Yes, it sounds as though you are unsociable ... and what's wrong with that? I am exactly the same. I have a couple of old school friends who live over 150 miles away and with whom I correspond on a very infrequent and erratic basis, but no friends in the town I live in. I can't bear the idea of people popping in and out of my house all day long, and I don't want to go to their houses. I enjoy my own company and love it when I get the house to myself for a day, or a weekend. I shop in advance so I don't have to go out at all, and immerse myself in the things I like doing. I hate it when the 'phone rings or there's someone at the door (fortunately that doesn't happen much). I have my husband, my sons and their girlfriends, and my parents, and I don't feel the need for anyone else.
I think a lot depends on your family, I have a very small family and don't know what I would have done without without my closest friend, also have acquaintences where we only meet occassionally but if whenever someone has problem or illness we would help each other out. You seem to have that with your family which is fine. Really as long as you are happy you must be doing the right thing.
