Impossible People

It's alright to be a little antisocial. It's fine to prefer being alone or a couple or trio instead of group activities.

What's not ok, to me, is being ok with someone you know or like or are related to adding to the crowd, but not someone I know or like or am related to.

I get it, I get it, you're beyond introverted, extremely socially awkward, and don't like to be around people. But...it's just a damn movie. Get over yourself.

I didn't like group activities with my last boyfriend because all of his friends were criminals and druggies and general losers. That was different. My boyfriend right now just absolutely wants nothing to do with anyone but me. I told my brother that we have to take things slow and we'll start with just a movie and see if he can handle it, if so, maybe we'll plan something later. I told my bf that my brother and his gf would be meeting us for the movie, and he looked downright disappointed.

I have a huge feeling this is why I got a shoulder shrug when I asked if he liked the movie, and why he just decided he wanted to go home a few hours later instead of spend the night. Oh well, I am so used to the silent treatment right now, at least I don't have to drain my cell battery and I'll get some home chores done in the meantime until he gets over his baby fit.

Is he a part of any groups or anything else that has other people unit? Cause he's sounding more and more like he's never been, and I mean from young age, social or had to be. I swear the more you talk about him the more I think he needs a professional to get him out of his shell and into the universe with the rest of us. Cause his personal one is shrinking.

I freely admit to being an introverted homebody, but even I would crawl out on occasion for my partner's friends or especially family. Just out of respect if nothing else.

I simply don't like large groups of people though.

Im with Grave on this one. I like hanging out with small groups of people, an occasional movie is fine, but Id have to be sedated and hog tied to go to a concert or something like that.

It's not like he's never met my family members before, and as far as I know, he doesn't dislike any of them.

Is he really that antisocial or ummm. . .how to put this? Looking for some snogging time since he seems to be so fixated on just you?

[blas87]

He's always been that way. For my birthday, I invited a coworker to come hang out with us at the bar. I told him about it a few days beforehand, and he said that it was "creepy" to do that. No. Not creepy at all. I have other people in my life other than just you.

What makes it really hard is, it's a no win situation, because if I'd just gone with my brother and his gf to the movies without him, he would have been mad about it, try to include him, he gets mad as well.
