For a few months I have pretty much declared my self extremely anti social, I have decided talking/dealing with people and making friends is not worth it and is not interesting. And I intend to talk/generally be less communicative in every way with everyone (there are exceptions though, these are: very close people, family, and people over internet).

I have not really told anyone about this decision of mine yet. I am currently just living with my mom and I am close with her (duh) but I still don't feel confident telling her that I don't want to talk to anyone for the rest of my life, I have two older sisters but I am not very close with them at all but they feel close with me and I don't even have any clue on how to break it to them, since they are them self always very social and think of me as a social person too.

The problem is of course that like everyone else I still need to go to school and there is always people there that want to be friends with me and talk to me but all I want to do is just go to school and learn and not to talk to anyone and as soon as I get home to just be on the computer and not get out and not do anything (as sad as it sounds, is true :/ )

So my question is: What do I do being an extremely anti-social person surrounded by people who are equally the opposite? Obviously I can't not go to school and stuff like that.

Well, your only real option is to be rude to people. If they talk to you, answer bluntly or not at all. You won't win any friends and people will generally stay away from you. I have issues sometimes where people don't talk to me because I have a habit of having a permanent scowl on my face (I'm not entirely sure why I look so unfriendly in person, but I do) and people usually don't talk to me. Just look intimidating and horrible with your expressions.

Sounds like you are making excuses to protect your insecurities. You don't want to deal with the real world. That isn't healthy, and you are doing yourself a massive disservice. I say seek counselling.
