I have many friends, but often feel like an outcast when I'm with a large group of them. I prefer to do things on my own or with my family, and it seems that when my friends want to get together, it interfers with what I have already planned. My friends then get annoyed because I can't make it, or I can't stay all night. Am I an outcast, or does this happen in everyone's relationships? I'm curious if anyone else feels this way?

You're not alone. Your friends should respect the fact that while you enjoy spending time with them, you also have other interests. Tell them how you feel. If they understand, then you've made a good choice in friends.

I prefer the term "different" to outcast. I like to do things with friends, but I also need my own space. I put my man and my children ahead of friends, so if my family wants me for something the friends lose out. My friends are not as close as they used to be, but my family is closer and they are the ones who count most.

I live on the top of a lonely mountain in Wyoming.
I have not spoken in over two weeks.
I have not set eyes on another person in a month.
I order everything I need in the mail and drive down my 8 mile long driveway to pick it up.
I have no family, no pets, no TV, and no internet connection.
I spend my time calculating, designing, testing, and building lots of cool, dangerous machines in my underground laboratory.
I RULE!
sorry, what was the question?

I always have been like that- it used to bother me, but now I don't care so much what the majority of people think. The people who really love you will accept you the way you are.

What is the problem?
Are you doing what you want to do? If you are, then who cares what other people think? So if all your freinds are smoking crack are you going to? Get your own identity.
Grow up.

Do what you want and respect others. That is the best thing you can do.
