Is it wrong that I prefer to be alone than be around people? I am very social, it s easy for me to make friends, I m funny and I like making people smile but if I could, I would go and be somewhere by myself and be perfectly happy. People are a hassle. You have to always say the right thing and it s annoying. I am very good at manipulating situations and getting things to go my way but I prefer not to do that and instead prefer to tell the truth and try to be a good person. But I often have to hold my tongue and resist the urge to be blunt and inconsiderate. I am in high school (almost out), and I love taking risks, the riskier the better but my brain often tells me not to do it, because I know where Point A leads to. Being around people drains me, but I have found it habit to socialize. Does this mean something is wrong with me? I get anxiety attacks when I have to ask people questions but I quickly dismiss it and do it anyways, even though I d rather sit in a question and be alone with my thoughts.
