I am a university student majoring in English Translation in a Mid Eastern country.   I find it difficult to attract other people's attention and it makes friendship nearly impossible.  I love loneliness in a way that most of my friends don't approve.  I feel happy sometimes but suddenly I do not like to be with anybody, even my close friends or loved ones. I just want to be alone.

I live in a rented house with three friends and in the university I have lots of friends.  People seem to like me, but I cannot show my feelings even if I like somebody. I think my best friend is too religious and we have arguments about religious issues.

Do you think having relation with a girl could be helpful? I have not yet been with a opposite gender so far. 

I must be alone during each day, and I enjoy it, but what about others? I have problem with communicating with other people, including girls.Sometimes I hate everybody and I want to leave them for no good reason. When I am with different kinds of people,I do not feel comfortable and I want to be aware of this matter if I am strange and is there any problem with me.
