writes: This isn’t a relationship question, but since there had been some questions unrelated to this topic I decided to ask. So what do you guys think: My birthday was a couple of weeks ago and some acquaintances congratulated me on facebook, my mum called, my dad didn’t the fact is that I really don’t care I do have a good relationship with my parents but it seems to me that my dad hasn’t called because on his birthday which is days before mine I slept all day long and didn’t wish him happy birthday or he just doesn’t know when my birthday is, ( he doesn’t know his own cellphone number, and he’s got it for like twelve years), one friend was very apologetic because she was travelling and didn’t call, but the fact remains the same, I do not care I had a good time baking my cake and eating it by myself and don’t much care about having people around, although I do appreciate my friends I like to keep to myself, which seems to trouble my parents because I’m not in a relationship, they think I have some issue, but the fact is very simple I don’t like anybody in that way . Anyway the thing is I do have friends but when I’m with other people and they talk about they lives or other people’s lives, most of the time I’m not even listening and I instead think about things related to my own life. Those are just examples to give you an idea, the thing is does it make me a laid-back person or just selfish?

You don't have to surround yourself with people 24/7 but don't be isolated either,its not good for you.Its true,nobodys an island.
As for a relationship,there's really no rush you will know when your ready. However, you can't be a partner till you learn to open up.When you date it goes from ME to WE.You have to communicate,share, think of them and their feelings.Not just you and yours.
I find it worrying that you slept right through your dads birthday though, seriously 24 hrs? Thats way too much sleep, do you do this alot?
