Question:
maybe you just have a reserved type personality? like me? because Im very observant and I dont talk a lot unless I know the person well, Im kind of a secretive [private person] I dont like telling people too many personal things about my life.
I think being a little anti-social is good, because you can be a more independant type person, not relying on others all the time
I have two sisters and a brother, and Im kind of anti social myself
it's just part of your personality, you will probably be the same the rest of your life, because people dont really change much.
we grow up and mature, but our personality doesnt change
Answer:
I'm like that sometimes...I'm usually a very extroverted party loving person but there are times when I need some peace and quiet to myself..plus the more people I know, the more I realized I don't need to know those people...maybe because most of the people I'm coming across lately are social climbers so why should I let them use me to their advantage? to get to know more friends? i think it's pointless so I'd rather shut myself out than be surrounded by fakes. I'll go out when my real friends and I all have time to spend together.

Yeah, almost what everyone said is true. I DO have a reserved type of personality, I AM observant and I DO talk more with my close friends.
Also what mz simmonz said is true too. Everywhere I see social climbers and fakes that I'm kind of sick of them. I just need my real friends.
IMO, people in my school need to mature..a lot. It's not all about how many friends and people you have and know.
This may be my personality, but I hope it's because it's high school (you know how high school is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ). Maybe in college, people would've grown up. *sighs* (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
Thanks for all of your advice and comments guys. I appreciate it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)
Answer:
people grow apart..
(*sociology mode)
you don't want to talk to people because.. your social backgrounds are different.
that's my assumption.
Answer:
Yeh i know what you mean.... when that happens my friends just think that i'm moody or pissed.
But its not that, i just don't 'feel' like talking some days, takes too much energy to strike up a conversation.
Answer:
Yeahh...sometimes i feel pretty anti-social...but it's just a phase. You'll get past it.
Answer:
I'm so like that! I don't like keeping long conversations, and sometimes I don't feel like talking period..
Yesss, me too.
Or but with some people, they're really easy to talk to, so I just can't help but talk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Answer:
I don't tend to talk much either and my close friends know not to invite me to parties/movies/get-togethers cause I usually decline. I don't think it's a problem and really don't care that people label me as being anti-social cause in all truth, I'd much rather be alone than surrounded by people.
Btw, what's wrong with being anti-social, many of you act like it's a disease...
Answer:
Maybe it's part of being an only child? The same thing happens with me and my cousin. Always quiet in gatherings. I can only talk to around three of my closest friends. Don't click with anyone. :/
Answer:
yeh im anti social....... i just keep replying in way word or short sentence answers....
Answer:
yea. that's exactly how i am. seriously =/
im not the only child though, but i cant have long convo with anyone. i dont say hi all the time either xD i just smile. lol..

Being TOO anti social isn't a good thing.
We live in a world where people live off of each other, where communication is the key to success... (for jobs, etc.)
It's not a disease, but it CAN be a problem in the future...
Answer:
Apperently according to my friend, she says that i have a big personality, and that i'm the type of person that people wll remember, but i cant see that.. :\
I think I'm reserved around my friends in a way, and to general people, i'm anti-social. I dont know.
My group of friends, they ALL have HUGE personalities, so when it comes to me, i dont really stand out much? like they can just keep talking and talking and talking, and i kinda zone out after awhile, and i just cant be bothered saying anything.
But yeah, for me its, just lack of energy, and the fact that nothing interesting has happened in my life/recently, that i can really talk about.
Answer:
I'm kind of like this too. I'd like to be more social but I think my main problem is I have a hard time going up to people and talking with them. I also find that I run out of things to talk about really fast. I see my friends going up to people and mingling easily and conversing well but I just can't seem to for some reason. I want to though.

Answer:
Sometimes I just don't want a long conversation with everybody. There are only so many people you want to be friends with. Sooner or later, it is painful repeating the same conversations with different people, which is how I feel sometimes with various friends.
That's why I like to keep a good knit of friends. My friends are all different in their unique ways, yet similar enough so that I find myself compatible with them. Otherwise, the people I meet throughout the days are close to acquaintances. I mean, I don't want everybody to pry into my life. I am a very open person, but I am selectively open.
Answer:
im like that too
sometimes i like drove some friends out of my life like that
but i wasnt really close with them anyways..
Answer:
You sound like me... I'm only extra talkative when with friends i'm more familiar with
i know socializing with others is important... i just can't help but find conversations with people i'll prob never become close with pointless..
i try my best to initialize convos and say hi to people i know, but i still can't bring myself to start convos with strangers
Maybe you're just introverted.. like me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Answer:
i feel that way sometimes too...i'm social but i need space ...so i like my alone time. and when i try to do give enegy when i talk .... people think i'm drunk...but anyways i think you should join some sort of club or sport soo you can talk to people...like in sports you can ask oh i need help on my ______ can you help me...blah blah blah...
Answer:
yea... being antisocial is quite ok for me lol....
you get to ignore the people you dont wanna talk to and yep it's quite fun. they're just too annoying... and so i try to ignore until i have something to say to them.
but when my friends try to start a convo with me and i feel antisocial... i always end up telling them 'i'm feeling antisocial right now'
it's after they keep asking 'what's wrong' over and over. lol....
ay.. i'm just a mean person .
Answer:
a lot of people mistakenly use the word antisocial to describe introversion
the term antisocial personality literally means behaviour that's detrimental to society - this behaviour includes theft, vandalism, destruction of property, dislike of authority figures etc.
an introvert would probably be a better way of describing someone who doesn't mingle much, and whose conversation is lacking etc.
