Is it normal to not want friends?

Question

I'm 17 and I go to boarding school. I only have one friend who has been a close friend like a sister for about 4 years now. However, I can't seem to bring myself to make any other friends. I have many distant friends or acquaintances who I am around at school or have chats to, but I never ever get close with anyone. I just don't see the point? I'm not very social, and I stay in my room at boarding school a lot because I feel too self conscious to go out in public anywhere. I feel uncomfortable around large amounts of people, and prefer to be alone. I do feel bit lonely a lot of the time, but I don't really want to get close with anyone or spend lots of time with other people because I just prefer to be by myself where it is quiet and peaceful. 
I have a few reasons why I have given up on being social, 1. Because other girls say my body is ugly and weird, and 2. Because I just want to avoid problems and drama. All I really want is to get through the day and graduate school and be left alone. 

But is this normal?

Answer

i think all of us sometime or the other don't want to be bothered by certain things or people just want it to be quiet and nothing else i would continue your mission mabe if your left alone for a while you can get back on track and  like your self  i think mabe you could acomplish some of the things that are bothering you take one day at a time and accomplish what you can mabe you will beable to go on.

Hmm there is times when we don't have confidence in our selves so we just think that we don't want want friends, we go and lock our selves in our rooms, but u know u since u have a close friend who can be called a sister it's fine. Its not really necessary to have more than one close friend who u can trust. Now or later u will meet new people and u may get close and so on.

Hope it was a help.
