Who Here Has Had This Feeling?

I've been feeling down and anti-social today, which may be a result of how much fun I had Friday and Saturday.
The Feeling
The amount of people you like is few to none. Instead, you just like your interactions with certain people or those people's characteristics. You may not even like yourself.
I've got interpersonal relationships with many people, but I'm not sure that I care that much about them. I can enjoy spending time with them, and they have their good qualities, but I'm not sure that I actually have an emotional attachment to any of them. All of these interpersonal relationships are familial or neighborly; there are neither sexual nor romantic elements present in any of these relationships.
I honestly don't feel that close to anyone, and I sometimes wonder if I'll ever have a close friend or a partner. I'm 20 and have never dated or been involved in a serious relationship. I'm not seeking or interested in dating right now.

Feelings are a beta move, bro.

I am a loner for the most part. The only people I talk to regularly are my father and my best friend who I have known for 20 years. I have other friends and acquaintances, but only hang out with them on occasion. Like I have a concert buddy and an Alabama football buddy, but I have never hung out with them at the same time.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be alone on Sunday, fwiw.
About the dating, I thought the same thing until right before I turned 21. Eventually you'll develop a want for a relationship, I think, unless you're asexual, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's complicated, but I understand how you feel, I think. If you want to PM me, email me at birdfrombama@aol.com.

Thanks for providing the first good response to this thread. I'm not gay, the alpha/beta distinctions are confusing, and that forever alone animation does not pertain to my life. I'm socially involved.

I know. I was just thinking of my social situation and wondering if others could relate.

I've had a crush on someone for nearly 6 years, but she made it clear that we were only friends. We attend different colleges and seldom communicate.

Thanks for the sentiment. I feel a little better now. Talking to strangers online is often more appealing than interacting with people in real life.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.

No, I don't believe in drinking, smoking, or illegal drug use. I don't have a problem with people that choose to do such. I haven't attempted "drugs", and I really don't have a need for them.
A few people have suggested that I may need to be prescribed a psychological drug to make me feel better, but that's not what I want. I think I can get better without resorting to drugs.

Friendzoned hard.

What makes you think something's wrong with you? You seem to have your act together. You understand yourself at 20. That's so far ahead of me at that age - I'm just plain jealous.
The 6-year crush is a bit unusual but I wouldn't worry about it. You'll meet another girl, guaranteed.
Enjoy your life. You've got nothing personal to worry about.

I've never had a feeling.
See a doctor if you're sad.

I've been there before man. I wasn't necessarily a loner a lot but I wasn't accepted by many people. After having all the fun with the ladies and the goofy bro times, I thought what I wanted at the moment was a chick to tell me how great I was or at least some dude to smack talk how much he's gonna kick my arse at a video game.
But I got to the point (I'm 20 as well), I just turned my give a frick switch. Me and my brother go out and have a great time at the movies, clubs, among other things. Women are nothing more than a distraction and a bank account destroyer in marriage these days with few exceptions.
I will never marry because I don't want kids and I have no desire to be stuck with someone who'll probably screw my life over in 10-20 years. So do what you must. Don't let life get you down. And frick all these people in this thread. Just typical rantards.
Hope everything goes well for you going forward.

Hmmm idk. Sounds like you need to find an activity or something. Hiking, golf, softball. Meet some new people. The 6 yr crush thing is a little weird. Id say that's really hindering your thought process of meeting someone new. Forget about her, get some strange and move on dude. 6 years is close to crazy shite man. Especially if you've never dated.

What an a-hole thing to say.
