Am I Normal Or Not?
45 Answers
Ok I think I already know what most of you are going to say, but I need to know what other people think. I don't think I am normal, I don't think I have any real feelings. I hate people! I hate other people so much. I hate having to interact with anyone else. I love my husband, my daughter, my mum and my nana and that's it, I don't really like my dad, brother, cousins etc. I don't understand why people go all gooey over other peoples babies. I look at other people's kids and don't see anything. I don't think they are cute or adorable. I can't look people in the eye. I hate eye contact. I hate people standing too close to me. If I can stretch out my arms and touch you, then you are too close to me. I don't care if people are dying in Africa, I don't want to donate to charity. I don't want to talk to other people. I'm only 28 but I have been like this for years. I'm surprised I found someone to love and someone who loves me. My husband is social and understands me, but I feel like a let down, I never go anywhere with my husband and daughter and I know that he would love to take me to a restaurant but the thought disgusts me. I'm not sure if I will even look back to see what people write as I'm sure it will be a tirade of abuse rather than helpful answers.

I think there are more people like in the world than you would imagine I'm not very social I have my group of friends not too many don't like big groups of people. Don't greet me with hugs and kisses my friends know that. Don't stand close to me in a queue or I will accidently step back and stamp your foot. I won't use a public toilet and can ignore beggars and street...

Why should you think we would abuse you? Most of the people on AB try to help. I know I have had a great deal of help given me. You love the people that matter to you, so nothing wrong there. Your husband loves you and is proud of you. He obviously would like to take you out and show how much he loves you but if you are unable to do that he accepts the situation. Many of the other things you mention apply to other people but they are not honest enough to say it so nothing wrong with that either. It seems to me that you cannot accept it yourself so why not see your GP and try to arrange for some guidance and counselling.
You are a classic introvert (or intravert, if you read Eysenck). You are not alone; I am pretty much the same and match almost everything you say. People find it extraordinary, considering that I spent my life making speeches to groups of strangers, but that's not the test. Plenty of performers are introverts; they have a stage persona but in private they are like you.
One thing is a little bit curious and doesn't fit my experience . Why do you find restaurants disagreeable, even though you'd be there with your husband? Do you feel that people are looking at you? That is certainly disagreeable, if they are, but they are not; they are far to wrapped up in themselves to give you any more than the fleeting glance which you, I expect, give to people who pass by or who sit near you.

I think you should see your GP too. Nothing exactly wrong about your feelings, but you seem very negative about everyone and come across as depressive. Perhaps the reason you have actually put your feelings into words is that you are deep down a little worried about it all. I bet your husband and daughter would love you to come out of your self-imposed shell and enjoy life with them, you are a long time dead. Enjoy their company and make time for making memories with both of them for later years.
Looking at my previous answer, it doesn't really explain it.
I am a bit of a loner and like my own company, ignoring the door when I don't want to answer tc, but put in front of people I probably try too hard and know it so I hate being there.
If you're not normal, neither am I and neither is half the world I suspect.

Try and look at the positives In your life instead of the negatives. You have a husband, daughter, mother and nan who love you. Visit your GP and tell him/her of your fears and he will assess whether you need help with counselling or not. Please do this for yourself and not to please everyone else. I know what it's like to feel unhappy with myself at times so a visit to your GP would be a good idea even if it's just to put your mind at rest.
