Do I have a disorder, or something else?!


Question: Do I have a disorder, or something else!?
I usually do not talk to people, only one or two close friends!. I prefer very much to be alone, and do not want to make new friends!. To me I do not need them, just the ones I keep close to me!. With close friends I am pretty social, with others not!.

I prefer to work alone and to be alone!. I can get aggressive and angry easily, but not just aggressive as in I'd start a fight, I can just get pissed and yell easily at someone (example, family), or I'd keep it pent up!.
I don't exactly feel empathy or any kind of feelings for others unless they're close to me, or if I somehow relate or connect to them!. Otherwise, sadly I could care less!.

I'm rather intelligent, I do good at school, mostly very good in English, as I guess I'm a good writer as my teachers and past ones have said!.

Oh yeah, and I'm 15!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I used to be like you, as a matter of fact - this sounds like word for word something I would say - and regardless of what the others here say, it isn't normal!.

It's not surprising that you largely lack empathy - when you're not communicating with others anymore, you forget how they are!. Living in a world that only involves yourself and possibly one or two others leaves you no opportunity to care about many other people at all!. This is self imposed!.

You say that you don't need other people, but you're sadly mistaken!. Especially at such a young age, you DO need the social interactions that will still shape you!. We are humans, not robots!. We need relationships with others to keep us grounded, connected, and feeling alive!.

The root of why I was that way is that I wasn't confident enough in myself!. I was socially awkward and had guilt about some other areas of my life!. As a form of "punishment" I would withdraw from others!. I didn't figure this out until my 20's!.

I usually hesitate to say that anyone has this but you might be a candidate for Aspergers'!.

P!.S!. If you withdraw from others now, you'll regret it in the future!. Please take my word for this!. I would do anything to go back in time and redo it!.

P!.P!.S!. I must ask if you're taking a medication for ADHD like Ritalin, or an anti-depressant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You sound like you are 15 to me!. I would like to be your friend since you are really close to them!. Thats great, really protective!. Just be you!. No one says you have to have lots of friends or be social if you don't want to!.
Maybe want to try to control the yelling a bit if you can at the family, but that actually is still normal!.
Really, you're good to go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think as long as you are content with yourself, you're OK!. As long as your aggressiveness and anger don't get out of hand, you're OK!.
I hope you have a life full of purpose and meaning!. Best Wishes to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You sound pretty healthy to me!. The fact that you are capable of empathy at all is good!. I think you're going to turn out fine!. Maybe even exceptional!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
