I'm anti-social I guess, but I feel the need to have privacy some days. As in, not have people over every single day. Does that make me crazy? I also keep my guard up and try to filter out those who could potentially hurt me.. does that make me paranoid or smart? I don't know.

Thank you to everyone responding, all very kindhearted and honest. I appreciate the input, and knowing I'm not alone here. I'll continue to just breathe and enjoy my day for what it is. I hope you all do the same.

smart, pick your friends like you pick your fruit. there are alot of negative people out there that can effect you, there are alot of dark entities, if you are comfortable being alone then you are right on track , if you cant be alone with yourself without feeling lonely then you have some inner work to do.

WHen they say you're crazy they could be referring to you being a wild child thats why my friends call me crazy I dont mind it much.
But I'll tell you I dont think you are crazy at all.
I cut people out of my life that are not good for me, people that judge others, mean people, druggie people. I think that is a very good thing to do.
I like my privacy as well as my company.
You are a very smart girl.

I too, am anti-social if you only have to qualify for that by not wanting people around me all the time. People get mad at me because I screen my calls and some days I answer the phone for no-one. I think you are smart for being wary of letting people get close to you because there are alot of people out there who are jerks these days.
You are just someone who knows how to appreciate their own company and who makes sure someone is "quality" before getting close - nothing wrong with that.

You are not even close to crasy you don't cross the threshold into craziness untill you find yourslef talking about a jacket for more than three hours, moo out of car windows at cows, tell sales clerks you are looking for the holy grail when they ask you if they can help you find something, wish the world would end on your twentieith birthday. Trust me take it from someone who is crazy, you are definitely not crazy.

No it means you are smart
We all have many lessons to learn and it sound like you have learnt yours well.
I am sort of the same I test people and try to work them out trusting someone is hard these days.
And it sounds like you may just be an introvert instead of and extrovert.
You know how many people can't stand being alone with themselves.
People feed from people, they need the energy to keep them going
Some people need to shelter themselves to stop people from feeding off their energy.
I like to find friends that give me the balance it is all about give and take.
Love & Blessings

No your only just being you, it is okay to want to be on your own some days, every one needs time out to do their own thing and re charge their batteries. There are some days when I don't go out or even speak to anyone except my animals, and my friend will ring me if he hasn't heard from me in a couple of days just to make sure I am OK! It is also natural to filter people out who may hurt or harm you, its a natural form of defence!

No not crazy. seems the problem is your friends are insucure and need to be constantly in touch and in tune with the current "in" thing and style. You are just more sucure with yourself and do not need to justify your positions all the time.

Good luck

I'm not sure. but a balance of caution and openness is good idea. being on guard doesn't make you crazy it only means you are afraid. afraid of getting hurt or afraid of change. i used to be the same way. but i chose two of three people i could trust the most to help me. with them i tried to find that balance. now i enjoy life to the fullest but still use my better judgment to be on guard. you'll be fine once you can find the middle of that road you're on.

You could be an introvert - there's a really good book called the Introvert Advantage - if you get hold of a copy you might find that 25% of the world feel like you do

I like to be alone to sometimes for a day or two, but I'm over 40 years old, if you are a teen it may be unnatural but I don't think you're crazy.
