I think something is wrong with me. I have absolutely no interest in clubbing or drinking..I never have had a drink and I dont like it. I went out clubbing 2x and thought maybe I will learn to like it. But I hate it and all my friends like it. What's wrong with me? I am so out of place, I'd rather go bowling or to a movie or restuarant to talk. I'm in university but dont fit in. I cant seem to find friends with simliar interests, everyone wants to go out drinking and dancing, nothing wrong with that but it's not what I like to do. I actually suffer to get through the night when I go out with my friends. Any advice?

There's nothing at all wrong with you, your preferences are just different to those of your friends.
Bowling is great fun... so, find some friends who like to bowl too, and team up with them for nights out, or go to the cinema or a restaurant and have a chat.
It's not unusual for people not to want to drink and go clubbing. Drinking is harmful anyway, unless you do it in real moderation. I would think bowling is a much healthier pursuit and if you enjoy it toboot... well that's great!
Do your own thing, and find friends that will enjoy doing the same. :-)

thanks for the response. But HOW do I find friends with similar interests. My friends now are all nice great people but they dont consider bowling fun. I love sports and Im on the tennis team at my college, but my team members are all about the drinking and clubbing. So if athletes arent like me than who is?

I'm not saying you should dispense with your current friends who like clubbing, rather you find more friends, perhaps outside college, who like the same things as you.
When your friends go clubbing, go and do something you like to do and strike up conversations with people, whilst you're there... make a date to meet up and enjoy an evening with them, doing the something you like, when your friends go out clubbing. Fill in the missing parts, in other words.

There's nothing wrong with you, it's ok to have different opinion on having fun. you dont have to force yourself to fit in the group. do what you enjoy doing...life is short...Enjoy yourself! find other friends who could enjoy the things you do!

There's nothing wrong with you. Not everybody likes to go clubbing. I did it for six years, and finally got tired of it. I'm all settled down now, hee hee.

I donl;t think U are wrong. We have similar attitude (not like clubing and drinkking). I think even though U don;t like to clubbing, they still Ur good friends. U can find ppl with same interest at umh... sport bowling club maybe? Or maybe U can follow some dicsuion forum to find new frieds. and someday U will gath with them. ^^
Good luck
