I'm not here to judge or label, just to offer some insight.
Outside of my Husband, I don't really have close friends. I often feel that people like the idea of me, but they don't want to form a real connection. I seem to intimidate them. I'm not mean, just assertive and I take change in-stride. These two factors separate me from the pack.
It sounds like you prefer to be alone, but you also want friends. Time to change patterns and break-out of your comfort zone. Push yourself out there and really share something about yourself. If your current friends don't like the new you...then you're right, your not best friends.
Sending you light and love. Best of luck!  |
Thanks for your reply, SeekingPerpective. Yeah, I've heard of INTJ before (I forget which one I am though). And yes it's true, I prefer to be alone and that I want friends but it seems like I just can't be close to anybody. My 2 friends that don't go to my college - yeah I talk to them a lot through Facebook etc. but I just don't feel that connection. It's like the feeling of connection is dead inside of me preventing me to connect with anybody. It's weird and hard to describe.

Having a sense of belonging amongst peers / family or any particular social group I believe is a basic need.
Sometimes I feel alone too.
My wish for you is that you begin finding your sense of place in this world. |
Thanks, Hooligan. You're right and that's what I mean. I feel so much more different than everybody; I'm finding it diffult to find some sense of belonging in this world. blah.
