Hello,

I've been thinking lately about how I interact with other people, and I'm pretty confused. I was wondering if I might have a disorder, and if so, what it would be. Here's my situation.

I'm a 22 year old guy, and I've never been interested in having friends. I've never felt lonely, either. However, I love helping people, and due to my kindness and the way I act I've had a lot of friendships over the years as a result.

But the friendships rarely get anywhere because I have no desire to pursue friendships. I'm happiest when I'm alone. I dislike being with only one person, and I dislike 1 on 1 conversations as well. However, talking with large groups of people makes me happy, though, as does helping people.

This confuses me greatly. It's like I have qualities of an introvert, and also an extrovert. However, both introverts and extroverts still desire friendship, while I don't. In the past I thought maybe it was anxiety, but then I would still fill lonely, not to mention the fact I like being in large groups, which causes me to think it isn't anxiety.

Does anyone have any idea about what might be going on? Thank you!
