Is it abnormal or strange that I feel this way?

I honest to god do not need other people to be happy. Socian contact I find stressful and exhausting while being alone is peaceful and enriching. I have a few contacts, but honestly, its hard to be involved in relationships because, as I said, I find them stressful. I *never* get lonely or depressed when I am by my self. I feel no need to be a relationship of any kind but I've been told by family that it is strange to like to be by your self and not have any need for social contact. Is this weird?

    OK so you are a loner,... probably a dreamer too.....nothing wrong with that....keep on being who you are.and be at peace with yourself ......do not worry what others say, the only person you have to be true to is yourself.

    Not at all. I'm the same way. I hate being tied down in a relationship OR even being social to begin with. I constantly feel pressured to behave in a certain way that just isn't me. I'm the most outspoken person you will ever meet - name a topic and I've got an opinion on it and say it loud and proud and cuss like a sailor too (and I'm a female). But most people don't think I'm as outspoken as I am because I literally do not understand how social hierarchy works. I have 10x the amount of fun sitting at home enjoying a good movie with my cat than going out for a night on the town with a bunch of people who just end up stabbing me in the back. My parents are saddened that I don't have "friends" but honestly, I think they're a detriment to my mental health. Last time I went out and had drinks with coworkers, everyone ended up drunk and eventually just like...silently left the party to go do whatever. It ended up being just me and this other girl I really liked from work AND on top of that, the store manager who...ended up in a "compromising" position with her after I left. So...no more coworker socials for me. =)
