I don't joke around a lot. Am I normal?

I'm in eleventh grade, and most the girls and guys are very carefree, outgoing, and talkative- always joking around. For some reason, I can't get myself to be like that. (I've tried to force myself to joke and chat, but it just felt annoying having to talk about unimportant things.) I am not being a snob in anyway, I don't think that I'm better than others- I just truly have no interest in most of the things people talk about. I believe that as a result of this, I am often sitting alone because I'm not "fun" to be around.

I am only 16, so I sometimes wonder if I'm really abnormal. During a normal day, I think about school, my future, and self development. Not so much about the latest gossip or party. (I do listen to music, and watch shows & sometimes movies. So, I'm not completely shut out.)

What can I do, if I should do anything?
