I don t consider them friends

I don't consider my friends as friends, rather just acquaintances. I don't get attached to people surrounding me for more than a month or even week. I just don't care. I didn't know when it all started, but when new school year starts, I stop talking or hanging out with some of them. My mom would always said that I should treasure them and ask how their day was, but I just can't, it feels as if I'm prying to their own life and "feeling close". No, I didn't experienced betrayals before. Trust issues? not really. It's just that I don't bother to care for them. I don't care to know about their lifestyles, I don't really use my social media accounts, I just made them to make me seem approachable or friendly. I'm friendly and sociable, but not an extrovert. You can talk to me and I will respond, but after that don't expect me to insist, to start a conversation first. I don't want someone comforting me, it makes me feel pitiful, or someone lending their ears to hear my problems. I just want to be alone when I have those. I'm also not clingy and not the best when it comes to advice about your love life and rainbows. It's weird but I can't just help it. So, is it weird?
