I learned over the years to do things on my own for the most part. I do have different types of friends that I like for different reasons. There are things my friends did socially that did not interest me at all... I found I would go along with it just to be a pleaser. I stopped sacrificing my time. It's ok to find your own interests... It could take a while. Do the things you really enjoy... trying new things with friends is how you figure out what you like to do.
It can be hard to say no when you are asked to do something your really do not want to do... I usually say.. Thanks for including/thinking me.. but I have other plans.
Takes time to find out "who you are" - by yourself.
