Ok

i dont no why you dont hang out much or why you feel better being alone!! maybe you feel better being alone becuase you have time to think about ur thoughts feelings and passed experiences. Maybe some thing happened in the past to make you shy!!! i was shy for along time you couldnt get me to talk to anyone for many years!I was quiet shy and didnt want n e thing to do with anyone else i didnt find a need too. But i will tell you im one of the most out going people now and i have tons of friends. Dont measure popularity but your friends size but by the people you are friends with and happy with. Friends help you and boost you up every day of ur life they make you happy so you can be urself and have fun!!! just start meeting new people weather they are from your school or from another town!!! get to no more people so that you can open your box!!! just hold on for the ride and bring out yourself dont be scared to show who you are to everyone if they dont except its thier problem and they just are people you dont need to be around!!!!

if you need n e thing else just e-mail me ok

I am shy, Always have been.. Until this summer when my sister left at a car show with a family friend's son *whos my age* that night i did not talk much cause I was so shy. Well 2+ months later Im still shy, but I do talk now when Im around him, and i like having him around.

I dont it's really bad being alone, I didn't mind it until I met him and now I like hanging out non-stop

At your age...it is totally normal to like having the house to yourself.

I used to LOVE it.

Now, several years later, I can't stand being alone for long periods of time...

It's totally normal...don't worry about it. (Unless you often turn down opportunities to hang out with friends to be home alone...)

On another note (aka, Meagan being nosy and wanting to give her opinion again...)
Hang out with your mom at least once, just you and her, every week or two. She will LOVE it and it will help to develop a good relationship between the two of you. This will be INSANELY helpful when you are looking for more independence later in life...she will trust and respect you more. These two things will make your teen years MUCH easier.

I don't think it's so terrible. Different people require different amounts of social contact. As long as you have a few close friends and aren't aching for any more social contact, you probably don't need any more.

As for your Mom saying she wants you to spend more time with her...it sounds like she's the one who's aching for more contact with you. I know my Mom has some guilt about working, and occasionally tells me she "never sees me anymore" after a work week (usually between the dinner I just ate with her and the TV show I'm about to watch with her). If this is similar to your case, just remind her of all the time you do spend with her. Either way, hanging out with her more can't hurt anything.
