Am i antisocial?
Question:
Answers:
I am sometimes the same way. I don't like to say alot when I don't have to. I'm alot more outgoing with people I'm close to and comfortable with. And yes, many times I've been told I have an attitude because of it. I'm really not a mean person, nor do I ever have an attitude, but people do see it as rude. You're not antisocial, but you'd rather not deal with the BS of small talk. That's totally fine.
No antisocial try to avoid people.
Yes
Anti socal you come off as. You should try to put yourself out there and get rid of being anti-socal. I did it and i have good friends now that i go everywhere with. Good luck with it i hope you canovercome your shyness.
Your not anti social your a teenager who is shy and trying to fit into her / he's skin. Give yourself a break!
Hmm..do you not want to talk to people? Being a reserved person usually means you are later in your stage of adaptation- as in- you are around 40ish. In my opinion, just go with the flow, it doesn't mean be a social butterfly, but try to answer questions more appealingly. Since your still in high school it can be tough to do that in certain conditions, but it is good practice for college. When entering college, you want to be comfortable when you talk to someone, knowing that they did not take what you said in a bad way. It's all part of life, a natural phase.

Sounds like me. I'm not rude or mean, I just am not a very sociable person. That's just one of many personalities. If that's who you are, be proud and be you. You'll find people who like you for that, instead of those that think you're rude because you tell it like it is and don't want to beat around the bush. I lost quite a few "friends" because I spoke my mind instead of what they wanted to hear.
The way you explain yourself you are just reserved, however people may well take it in another sense. But what you are doing is hurting yourself because interaction with other people is what this life is all about. For your own sake try to get over this so that you can open up and really enjoy life. We can´t live without other people.
Well, I'm basically the same as you, except I do have fun on certain times of the day which specific people. I'd say you're just fine. Be proud of who you are.
i feel like that a lot of times too. i come from a fam of 5 girls, im the oldest, and my mom & sisters are all SOOOO outgoing & social. a lot of the time i dont even want to do things w/them, id rather just hang out w/my husband & my kids or just be a homebody. i spent a lot of time trying to analyze this, always thinking there must be soemthing wrong w/me because i'm so different than the rest of my family. the last 2 yrs ive seen a counselor (im 31) & he helped me realize just bcuz ur not like any other person doesnt mean theres anything wrong w/u, and u dont need to use labels like "antisocial", its just u & how u are & to just accept that. also i never lived w/my biological father & over the last few years got to know him better, and suddenly realized alot of my characteristics are similar to him, this helped me to realize there was nothing wrong w/being different than my mom & sisters. good luck!
yes
i would think im the same way.i wouldnt call it antisocial.just reserved.it sounds like if you wanted to you could be social...you just arent that type of person
I think you should practice speaking to people clearly in conversation. It might be a little scary at first but once you stop being shy and start talking to people more you will get respect from people who take you as being rude or snobbish. Also, you will get new friends, and just a reminder don't tell anyone your opinion unless it is something positive or asked for. :]
It's okay to be shy. I am too and I'm also your age. People consider me just reserved, so I would assume you'd be considered the same. It all depends on the person.
See shyness, and social skills, at http://www.ezy-build.net. (.net.nz/~shaneris) on page 9. Like other skills, conversational ones need practice. Employ more open ended answers, sometimes ending with: "I'm interested in what you think about what I just said", or: "How do you feel about it?".
