The Student Room Group

Is this normal?:S

Basically I never really socialise much anymore apart from talking to people at school. I just revise at weekends, I used to always socialise before GCSEs but now I'm doing Alevels I just revise for exams to get good grades to get to try and get to a good university. Iv realised that I am a lot happier being a loan studying than out partying or socialising, is this okay? Should I be concerned?

No.
No need to be concerned! :smile:
Well, as long as you're happy with your current situation and it's what you prefer doing then I don't see why it's not normal.

It's understandable if you prefer to study alone, and revise on weekends- i'm sort of like that. But it is a bit weird that you prefer study to going out.
However you may just have boring friends. Though, if you're happy, you're happy.

Being happier by yourself is fine, it just means that you're an introvert is all. I would advise you made some effort to socialise, however, as from experience I know there will be times when you want to spend some time with others or will need good friends, and it's a lot easier if those friendships are already there than having to develop them.

Nah, this is TSR, everyone here is like that.
Nothing wrong with it either. Different people have different likes and dislikes.

:biggrin: I wouldn't worry about it though, I'm kinda like you yet I'm still moderately/fairly satisfied.

You have nothing to be worried about - in the run-up to A-Levels I spent most of my time in the school library and barely saw people outside of classes. I went out every now and again with friends, but much less than I used to.

As long as you're happy, then there's nothing wrong with revising and making sure you get into a good uni. You're investing in your future and that's great! But at the same time, try not to isolate yourself so much that you lose friends. Even if you just meet up for coffee once in a while, or chat at break with them, make sure you catch up with them and know what's going on in their lives.

It might be a good idea to arrange study groups with a friend or two - that way you can combine studying (which is much more effective when done together!) with socialising.

I hope this helps - good luck with your A-Levels :smile:
