I'm an introvert, some might call me anti or non-social. I think "anti-social" sounds to harsh. Like I HATE people. Don't like that. I like non-social better. Anyway, I'm not a people person at all. I think naturally I'm just not social and also society as a whole, is really getting to me. A lot of things I just REALLY don't like. Let me count the ways. . .
So I was wondering, is it better to find a small of group of people who you have stuff in common with? Or is it just better to really keep to yourself and your own thoughts? Just keep to my art and writing and movies and music.
I know its really up to me at the end of the day. I'm a young guy, 21.
But I wouldn't mind getting others thoughts on this. Please. . .

Well there is a difference in being alone and being lonely.Sometimes you may want the company of others just to share ideas with ( like you do on here but in person on a more personal level ).Do you have a few friends with whom you socialize? If you want to interact try find social groups that share your interests.It is always a good way to meet people of both sexes when you have common interests.It sounds like you have a lot of interesting topics you could share with other people.It is hard when you are shy to take the first step but by doing so you may make a new friend. We grow intellectally when we talk and listen to others.Our world and our perception of the world also changes with more information.I think you need to give yourself that little shove and make an effort to participate in life.There are a lot of good people out there.Don't be afraid to take a chance.You can remain true to yourself and your values and beliefs, you never have to change that part of you.

I have a lot of friends even though we have our differences because I can really see the good in people. But I must say that it's much better to have a small group inside the larger group in which you share special bounds. Be it spiritual, intellectual, and/or moral.
Finding people with similar views can be difficult, but it's worth it. And they're never that far away, it's important to socialize, we are social creatures. I am a bit non-social myself, but keeping certain people around me from time to time who share my views... Well, it's encouraging. It helps me feel normal and that the world can change for that better.
Are you an artist? Well so am I and I'm also writing a book. See, we have something in common. It wont be hard at all for you to find people to socialize with.

It's better to have a few friends.
They don't necessarily have to be a group, and they don't have to have stuff in common with you.
Just people whose company you enjoy, and they yours.
Being completely on your own is not healthy.
Have you never known any people you like?
