I don't really feel the need of having friends.

I dont really feel the need of having friends and I dont really care about my family members. I looked it up and I have some of the traits of schizoid personality disorder. And I am not sure if I should search for some kind of help, because I actually like it that way.

I don't have friends either and I'm fine with that. The only "friends" I need are a house and a job.

Who needs friends when you have the internet?

Ironically it seems you do have the compulsion to tell people about your feelings which is what friends are for.

I tried to change, but I didn't feel like doing such things. It didnt feel natural to me. And when I am with people I just dont care about them and what they have to say.

Most of the times, I actually keep the things that are happening around me for myself. This is just an exception.

Yeah, it is like a miracle :biggrin:

. Seeing all other people dependent on other people and then seeing myself only dependent on my myself.

I only have my parents and 2 close friends that no longer live near me since I have moved and everyone else I work with etc are nothing more than acquaintances to me, I like it that way so no I dont think this is an issue. Everyone is different.

Friends can be essential when you have major difficulties in life. I'd make some preemptively if I were you.

Can you give an example? Because every time I coped without any help.

I don't think it's a disorder OP, but it does sound like you've been emotionally hurt in the past by friends/family which has led you to give up on people.
Maybe time for some new friends??

I'll be your friend!

I agree with you, I do have a couple of friends now but they aren't close and I did spend a lot of time without any. I'm too aloof for friends really- I like doing my own thing when i like to do it (for example at college I like to have lunch when and where i choose) I also generally feel uncomfortable in big groups since I do have quite unusual interests. I'm used to it being like that and there's nothing wrong with it. Just do what you feel comfortable with :smile:

I'm the same. I sometimes feel 'bad' for not having friends due to the pressure society has imposed on me. But in reality, I find having friends a bit of a chore and generally prefer being in my own company. I guess my only interest in regards to friends would be to make a best friend. A very small family, a best friend, a nice house and a job that I love is enough to keep be fully contented.

I was like that until I was 17. I changed considerably after that. Now I do need a few friends to be with.

I haven't been emotionally hurt, because I didn't really care about other people's opinion, so there was no way they could hurt me.
