Reason asking is because I feel like I am. I have to drive myself everyone I go. I can't stand to ride with anybody because I feel like I don't have control. Everyone in my family likes to travel and wants to see places like Vegas, NY, or Hawaii. I want to stay home and relax on the porch, or go to the cabins. Everyone in my family likes to get out on the town, and shop,and eat out. I prefer working at home, watchign movies, and ordering a pizza. I feel that I have enought stress at work during the week, so on the weekends, I like to avoid the stress. But I just feel different from the rest of family. Also, I feel weird because of my preferences. I mentioned th car. I also prefer to sit in the back at church or on the end of the pew. I am like that anywhere I go. I always look for the exit when I walked into a location, and I can't stand to be in the middle of big crowd. Makes me nervous. I don't think I have problems, I just feel different from everyone else in family.

a) I don't have a family, my parents died when I was 12 & 15, and they had isolated themselves from the rest of the family (who lived in other countries).
b) I'm multiracial, my dad was part Black, part German, part English; my mom was part Spanish, part Amerindian, part Chinese, part Lebanese.
c) I've lived in 12 countries and over 20 cities in my 38 years of life.
d) I've never had a friend or a romantic relationship. I've never managed to get a woman out in a date. All sex I've had, I've had to pay for it.
e) I'm a published researcher, with a PhD in biochemistry and several papers in top journals, including Nature (as a second author).
I feel like I'm the weird one in this planet.

Everyone has their own unique position in this world. I never felt like I fit in with my family and now that I've gotten to know who I am, I've come to realize I have a unique gift to offer this world. Part of developing my gift was spending time in a family where I felt like the odd-man out. It gave me a great perspective on human behavior.
Find your uniqueness and embrace it. Think about what makes you happy (not what other people think should make you happy) and follow that path. If your job is stressful, you may be in the wrong job. Think about what makes you happy. Can you find a job that better fits that. If hanging out at home and as far away from people as you can get makes you comfortable, do it. You are who you are and if you have no problem with that no one else should either.

I can relate!! I feel like the cast away in my family. I am just a home body and I do not adjust well to change. If it is out of my routine, I am pretty uncomfortable with the situation. I like having things constant. We are just a unique breed. I'm totally okay with that, though, I like being different. That's part of what makes us beautiful people.

I cant see any problem here at all, every single person is unique on this planet.
its just you are not like your family, normally people live together they go with the other member's habit ot try to be together that it...
but if you dont like that , it does-not mean you are weird, just feel good for your self.
i have total opposite situation then yours, i always lived with big family, we use to enjoy a lot.
every week eating out, fun and movies... now i came to another country
life is total different, my husband and other family members like you, they dont prefer to go out or hand out with other , they need their space... i feel different couple years ago... now i got use to with this life...
we do the same, we prefer order pizza or take away rather then going out....
we prefer to watch movie on dvd..
so dont worry... enjoy life as you wish...
just remember one thing
BE HAPPY........

You are not wierd. You are yourself....you know what you want what makes you comfortable. There is nothing wrong with you. You are a loner....that's cool. Me too. You like the quiet, mother nature. Right on! There is nothing wrong with feeling different than everyone else. Be who you are. Keep doing what you are doing.....you are on the right path don't worry. The others are searching for something to make them happy....you found it.

There is nothing wrong with the things you do. And each person is unique if it wasnt for all this you wouldnt be who you are.
Everyone has different personalities and if you dont want to do something thats kewl, lifes too short to be doing something you dont want to.

When they are gone... will you regret it then? Sorry , but I regret the things I could of done. Appericate your family while you have them! My friend just lost his Dad. I lost mine 28 years ago at a young age. You will never regret doing all you can for your family. Live, love and care for them while they are still with you!

You're perfectly normal. Consider yourself a free spirited eccentric.

I think you have an anxiety disorder about being with people. See a therapist.
