Is it weird for me to be doing this...?

I'm 16 years old. I used to be "super-social". Had tons of friends, got texts, Myspaced all the time.
And now, all I want is to be alone. I just want to read, to watch movies by myself. I want to do everything by myself.
I go to the mall by myself, and I love it! :)
I feel like I can't connect with anyone anymore.
My best friend has turned materialistic. (All she cares about are 7-Jeans, brand-name make-up and shoes).

For some reason: I don't even CARE about those things anymore. It's as if I'm a totally different person. All I want is peace of mind. I would go sit in Starbucks, smiling, drinking a latte or something.
I love being alone!

So: is this bad? Is this normal?
is there something wrong with me?
What's going on?

Thanks!
 
It`s normal . You must be @ that stage when you make dramatic change . We all do that @ least once in our lifetime & maybe it`s time for you to . We cannot possibly stick to one thing fOREVER .
 
its not that its bad, its good. but you should at least hang with people every once in awhile. stay social but at least hang with someone once a week (minimum). also, good job not becoming materialistic! :)
 
That happened to me as well like two years ago when I was a junior. I had a girlfriend and sometimes she made me go out to movies and stuff with other people, that was more than enough socializing for me. I didn't do much interacting with people on my own. When I went to university this year, I didn't meet any new people, not even one. (Even though I lived in residence)

There's definitely nothing wrong with you.
If you're happy then continue what you're doing.
 
Hey, nah its cool. Truss me. You're just growing up and realizing that there's a lot more to the world then jeans, shoes, and make-up. You're perfectly fine.
 
No your just maturing in a different way everyone dose, don't worry live you life the way that makes you happy. And independent woman are always a good thing.
 
No but it does sound like you might just need a new set of friends. You're obviously going in a different direction that your friend is. Try meeting someone new that has the same interests as you. Since you like reading, go to your local library and ask about local book clubs. I think you would really enjoy it and you could meet someone new that has the same interests as you do. But alone time is also very important. As long as you're happy and not becoming depressed I don't think it's a big deal.
