Don't need friends

Anon on delete, cos I'm not sure about this.
Well, bascially what the titles says, I'm beginning to find that I don't really need friends, in the way that you know, people need someone to talk to etc. I'm not big on sharing my personal details. To me, friends are people who you while the time away with, do fun stuff together, but you don't really need them. Throughout my life I've had friends who I hang out with and chill with, but I dislike sharing too private things with them. My friends right now are annoyed at me for a very small reason, I haven't spoken to them for a week or so, and what makes me wonder whether I'm odd or not is that I don't miss them. All I need is my family to keep me company and listen to my gripes. It's like I really don't need friends. And I'm wondering, is that odd? Like a flaw, unnatural? Part of me thinks it's because I haven't really found people I really click with, I get on with people but I like my space and give them space too, I don't need to be constantly with people. I guess I'm rambling...and input would be great! Sorry for the rambly post

Nothing to be said about that really, if you're happy that way it's okay! I'm the same, I wouldn't need to talk to my friends for a long time and they get annoyed. That's just how some people are I guess!

you don't need friends, but the more you have the better contacts you have. people can hook you up.
OP why are you posting anon when the majority of people on TSR are like this lol

Yeah, the thing is, I am happy this way... My group of friends (well 'friends' because they are being so petty atm, and it's not even bothering me) try to make me feel guilty for being like this - forever trying to get me to share personal details. I just don't like leaning on my friends, but they make me feel as if I'm odd because of that.
There was also this guy who I was really close friends with, but he started liking me in that way and I saw him as just a friend, so we had to stop hanging out for a while and give it space. Thing is, I didn't really miss him, even though we had been so close (talknig everyday for hours on end). I met him recently and it was great and we kept in touch for a few more days but then its fizzled out a bit (my fault) and I'm not fussed?!
I never saw myself as a solitary person at all - I love talking to people, but I've realised I don't really like having people to close to me.

I suppose I'm a little bit like that. I get what you mean, OP. Although maybe it's nice to have one or two very close friends who, although you don't see them everyday, you can chat to. But yeah, you can't beat family. The most important people in life.

I know what you mean. I like company, but it makes me tired as well. The thing I hate most are phone calls and spontaneous meets. When my friends ask me if I wanna go for a walk I just feel like it's pointless. I value them highly, though - They make life more interesting. Maybe I don't realise they're important for me because they're around all the time? I guess you always want what you don't have.

You sound like me OP.
There's nothing wrong with it at all. I'd much rather be self sufficient than having to rely on various people for comfort etc.

It's great that other people are similar to me. My friends who I hang out with (although I have others who i consider to be better friends) have made me feel like I'm such a crap person for being like this. They also make me feel like a freak for only really needing to rely on my family, and wanting to spend time with them. The way they saw me, it was almost like they considered me to be a childish loner

True, but right now they're blanking me, and instead of being upset by it, I'm almost liberated?! I haven't missed them at all.
