Hello Flyn
Yes I feel the exact same way. I feel two polar opposites A part of me really wants and needs good friends but another part of me wants to run for cover at the first opportunity or when I sense someone is trying to reach me.
Im working through this. I want to be more tolerant of others and less fear-based. Its important to enjoy life now each present moment every chance you can. I hope you find yourself even just one really good friend who understands where you are coming from. I do

I want friends, but I tend to get annoyed by the ones I have. Except for a couple , who have about the same attention span and tolerance for stupidity as I.

Oh yeah. I feel that way all the time. I like being alone and also I like to meet people who meet the same interests as me.

I want friends, but I need space. At times the two are rather conflicting, at least in the eyes of others. I can spend days at a time in my room, but it is nice to have people there once I feel like leaving my room again.

YES! I fight with myself because most of the time I just want to be alone but very occassionaly I do get lonely and then I want a friend but I know I can't just have 'friends on demand', so I have to make an effort to have friends all the time, but it isn't working much at the moment.

I've found that sending friends a text message or an instant message from time to time helps that. You may not interact with them face to face, but a real quick "Yes, I'm alive, I do give a s**t, just letting you know that" seems to help. Some. Not entirely, but I think it is better than nothing.

For some reason interactions over the net don't have that same "weight' to them that face to face interactions do for me. Makes it more tolerable, even if it isn't viewed as equivalent by most people.
