Hey, it's recent right? Well then I'd say you just need to adjust to your new schedule.

As long as you acknowledge it and try to fix it, there isn't a problem.

Dude, that's not being a unsociable douche, that's just being someone who lives far away from his friends.

And as for not wanting to waste money, who actually wants to? Come on!

If you regret going out you should do different more fun things.
and fun is only with fun people.

I had a really anti-social phase (given to me by being sick for a year or two).
it later gave me the great opportunity to start over though and get a whole new array of friends.

so yeah sitting it out for a few months isn't always a bad plan.

as stated before, i think it's a phase; you'll adapt to it. it's just a change. sometimes you make friends, sometimes you lose friends, and sometimes you'll get to see who your real friends are.

but, before you get nervous and - maybe - think "omg what??" - give yourself a little time, and adapt to the new situation.

Dont worry pal, I get like that sometimes as well. Everyone does probably. I just cant be bothered with anyone and I just want to play games and watch movies or go for a nice lonely walk

Admittedly, your circumstances are a little unfavourable, but give it time and I reckon you'll adjust yourself.

What about weekends? Maybe you can fix somethin' up with your new mates at weekends if the week is too busy, and that way you can hopefully avoid going out with your oold friends if they bore you?

You claim to want to be alone and not only think it's a problem, but you also try to communicate this with people online on a place that's centered around being with other people called a forum. Nope, it's all in your head.

I had a similar situation not too long ago, it sorts itself out if you're actually a nice guy in the times you do get to talk to your classmates. As long as you can make an occasion outing with them it's all good.

Ive been in similar situation before. Notable my first summer back home after going to uni. Unless you stayed really close to your friend when you go, which involves a lot of effort to both parties, then by the time you get back so much have change, so many new people are in the groups you left it can be nearly impossible to just slip back in.

At other times I just go through stages when I dont want to socialise. I can sometimes go upto 2 months (very very rare) where I have little but a passing acquaintance with friend outside of school/college/uni/work. It happens

Nothing wrong with that. If you live too far away and don't want to spend money in situations that you do not enjoy, then that's personal preference. You are not a "jerk" because you don't bend over backwards for other people.

Your life is a phase more so than you. This part (college) will pass, you will have a career and things will change.

Well, you've got Perry the Platypus as your avatar, so you obviously can't be a douche. I think it's safe to chalk it up to "phase".

Phase, I kinda know what you're going through. Except I have no friends anymore where I live, they're all at uni and all of my new friends are no where near me so I just spend my time with them at college. I kind of like it though, I had a poor relationship with most of my old friends and it's refreshing to have some alone time at the weekends. I can be a pretty introverted guy at times so I'm fine spending time on my own, even going to cinema. In fact I love going to the cinema on my own, it means I can see what I want when I want and not have my friends talk all the way through.

i recently left my former college along with my friends to pursue my dream of working in the games industry, the college i go to is a while away and requires me to get 3 different buses, i get up at 6 and get buses from 7 and arrive there at 9, i have made friends at college but can hang out with them outside of school due to them living so far away, as i dont get home till 6 i lost all motivation to go out with friends and in return i dont get invited out anymore. i do attempt to go out with them but its usually shit and i regret going out and wasting my money when i could just stay home and play xbox which i find much more enjoyable at times, am i becoming an unsociable douche or do you reckon its a phase?

has anyone else ever been through this?
Dude, I'm going exactly through what you are right now. I'm going to university to take Documentary, take two buses and a skytrain to get there and usually work late. When I finish my work for the day I usually decline hanging out with people I know from school as I still have the long ass return trip home.

University destroys social lives, especially when it is combined with a long commute. I'm sure this will change when you graduate or if you move closer to school.

Do what you enjoy, if its xbox, play xbox, whewn you start to miss your friends, arrange to go out.

Earlier this year/last year I enjoyed going out, but before hand I wanted to sit and play games and be lazy, I always wanted the meeting time to be 1 hour later. Then when I got home Id go straight to games before any work I had to do. I did enjoy the days out, but Id always consider it game eating time.

Nowadays I live on each social experience, get confused on what to do when I get home, and cant play games for more than an hour without wanting to socialise via msn or whatever. And I die a little inside when I miss a metting, or one gets cancelled.

We all change our behaviour patterns, its natural, I wouldnt worry about it
