Am I an introvert?!


Question: Am I an introvert!?
I often keep to myself, occupying my time reading, watching television, using the computer, and generally doing things by myself!. I do spend time with friends, but after a while, maybe half a year or so, I push myself away from them, almost feeling that they!.!.!.!.!.!.annoy me!. I try spending times with others, but usually make no effort myself!. For example, I never make plans, and usually only go out with my friends when asked!. Is there something wrong with me!? I really do not want to continue like this!. Oh, and for the record, I am a 13 year old guy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You seem really mature for your age!. It does sound like you're introverted, but that's never a bad thing!. At your age most of your friends and class mates are probably immature and probably are really annoying!.

I remember feeling like that!. When you get to high school you'll probably make better friends!. I know I did!. You should make friends that are both introverted and extroverted!. It's always good to talk to another introvert, but you need a balance of extroverted friends too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If your friends ask you to hang out and you go, your not an introvert!.
Usually, introverts are uncomfortable associating with people!.
Also, just because they annoy you doesn't mean your an introvert!.
Introverts are usually shy, and spend time alone just to think about things!.
If you are shy and feel a discomfort around people and have a tendency to just be by yourself, you may be one!.

I highly doubt that you are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You clearly aren't happy by yourself meaning, you do need friends to be happy!. Many people are perfectly happy spending time by themselves, and you don't seem to be one of them!. You should maybe rethink the way you treat your friends as to avoid pushing them away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this is exactly what i do!. especially the part about pushing yourself away from friends because they start to annoy you!. and i only go out with friends when asked!. as long as we're not completely alienating ourselves from the world i guess we're alright!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You do sound introverted!. I'm a bit like that, but my friends do not annoy me (at least not yet)!.

Nessa! (below me) Introverts do have friends!. Yeesh!. Just because you like to be alone sometimes does not mean that you don't have or aren't capable of having friends!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like it to me!.!.!. nothing wrong with an introvert though!.!.!.!.

you seem like a normal kid to me!. Maybe a little introverted, but thats not bad!. Your probably a good guy with a few good friends and thats good enought to live on!. Your contentWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like me and I'm 34! Nothing wrong with it in my eyes, but then again my own parents just screwed me over for $30,000 so I trust nobody at this point so keeping alone is the best policy for me right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well you seem normal, but if you want friends re evaluate the way you look at how you treat your friends!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to find youself a girl mateWww@Answer-Health@Com

haha that sounds just like me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm the same way, and apparently my friends are mad at me now for it, so that makes me feel even MORE annoyed with them! But anyway, I think yes, I would say you're a bit of an introvert! I've taken a lot of quizzes like that, and they always say that to me!. Not that those are all accurate!. I'm a 14 year old girl, so!.!. I guess we're similar!?

Edit- In response to what Sandbar said, just because you enjoy being alone doesn't mean you have Aspurgers (sorry if I spelled that wrong!.), my twin brothers have it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You enjoy being alone!? It does not matter what you do when you are alone, the fact is that you enjoy being alone!.!.!. It sounds like Asperger Syndrome!. More males have Asperger Syndrome than females!. You could also be an introvert!

Nothing is wrong with you or with having AS!. I have read that some psychologists believe that AS is another form of being normal!. But what is exactly "normal" anyway!?

There is so much more now on AS compared to two years ago!. If you start to read up on AS (like I did) and start to ONLY read about AS (like it is your special interest) and you start to get down after reading, just stop reading it!. Many people with AS have special interests, one of them being a computer and careers in computers!. People with AS also are known for working with things, not people!. They are also usually VERY smart and enjoy reading!. Some people with AS say that they call "no place home" or that they are a puzzle piece that does not fit to earths puzzle!. WrongPlanet!.com (or !.net) is a good place to go to for an online community for people with AS!.

Personality tests can be found at
www!.similarminds!.com and a good one is based on Jung- the Myers Brigg Type Indicator!.!.!.if you want the REAL test, you'd have to pay for it!. It was $15 4 years ago!. But you can take a similar one for FREE at www!.similarminds!.com!.



This will take some time to read all of these, but I think it will benefit you and your knowledge base!.
