Here is a basic description of myself
Currently I'm 2nd year college student. I have no friends, more aquantices, people I will chit chat with here and there. I say hello, they say hello back, etc. No strong friendships or social ties.
I hardly ever go out and when I do I'm by myself. I usually will go a see a movie on a Sunday afternoon and the theater is practically empty. I wondering do I have any strong emotions in my. When my favorite aunt died, I didn't even cry at the funeral. Everyone else around me was. Even my mom and I hardly ever see her shed a tear. The only time I shed a tear is when I have a cold or allergies. Sometimes I just feel numb.
Sometimes I see myself as cold or an uninterested person. When people try to start a conversation with me, I do talk and look them in there eyes. Its like when someone tries to talk me, its like pulling out a tooth. After a while it's like people just give up, and let me be. I just don't feel a connection with people. And
I don't know why.
I rather sit at home in my room and read a book. I'm tired of it. Any tips on what to do or how to build friendships, or stop seeming cold. I've been like this for quite a while, since around 6grade.

OH MY GOSH... I have some of the same issues. I am struggling with my personality becuase I constantly have to fight for my individuality. People always say that I am reserved, cold, un-emotional. I would also rather sit at home and read a book. I need alone time to regroup. Being around people-even good friends wears me out. Part of me wants to tell you that PEOPLE SHOULD ACCEPT OTHERS FOR WHATEVER TYPE OF PERSONALITY THEY HAVE, but I know you want to make more friends...
I would find a hobby that others are into. I found great friends in grad school. I sing in a community choir and I met people there.
Do you have neighbors your age ? Do you go to a church?
We are all born with certain traits. You are probably introspective.
Remember you are not alone... I have a similar personality like yours and I'm doing ok.

Sounds like you have built a wall around yourself. It is easier to stay away from emotional things than getting hurt be others. However, you can never truly experience happiness if you never allow yourself to feel.

sounds like depression mixed with some bipolar maybe.
if you really want to know the cause and do something about the way you feel you need to go to a psychiatrist for an evaluation.

oh my goodness when I read this you described me. Only I'm an older lady. I have clinical depression. I have not cried in years. Please see a medical doctor and tell him all of the above. You can get better and be able to enjoy friends and social situations.
I care.
