Hate meeting people, I feel really weird when i speak to them, i have to pretend that i care when we talk about something or pretend to laugh about at joke they tell. It feels really unnatural for me. I like to be alone all the time, i just want to be in my room and read, listen music or surf on the internet, and i love it. My family feels sorry for me but i feel sorry for them, they just party everyday, they only care about trends, shallow stuff etc. They have to go out everyday, i cant see myself doing that.
Do i have social phobia? But i've read that they dont like to be alone and they want be be around people. I do feel paranoid when i walk pass someone, i think that they are watching me, but other than that i really like being alone, i feel so relaxed and peacefull, i just feel stressed and exhausted when im around someone, i havent even seen my best friend for two years but i like chatting with her on msn. So what is this thing called?
I dont want to change or take any medication, i want to stay like this for the rest of my life.
 
You sound like a loner. But being that you have some paranoia and feeling of suffication when around peope - this could be social anxiety. It would be interesing to know how medication helps you.
 
I'd say it's unsociableness. when you grow older you will probably change
 
You just sound like an introvert. Introverts get energy from being alone. Extroverts get energy from being with other people.

Google "personality test" and I am sure you will get something. There are many different forms of introverts and it can help you to know. Make sure you don't get this confused with personality disorders though. They are very different things.
