I'm not as social as i used to be...

Last year and the beginning of this year, I was pretty social, and kind of crazy. I've never been super popular or extrovertive, but that was my peak. Now, I'm like I was two years ago: antisocial, not hanging out with my friends, quiet. I can't seem to have an interesting conversation with anyone. I really hate it, and I know it sounds cheesy but it seems like a cycle I can't get out. Is this just a phase?

    That is normal! You just need to break the cycle.. Do something different than your normal, safe routine. It can be anything, but surprise your own expectations.
    Doing something different breaks the pattern of your behavior and might even spur some new thoughts, feelings, or ideas.. All of these can be good or bad- but at least you broke the cycle and yoi will likely discover that you can (if you want to!) get out of this slump and keep on being the person you want to be and become!

    it depends what happened to you. did your have a traumatical change in your life? lost old friends? relocation? trying to fit in a new group and finding it hard? missing something? well i know thats what happen to me and more lol now i don't feel excited about the things i used to. even though i made it through the rough storm. sometimes ppl think makin it out of a storm means u come out happy and strong they forget how much energy and endurance it can take to make it through things. so at times a person might be out of the rain but exhausted from the running and duckin and wounded. u just wanna relax and be in a comfortable spot for a while... maybe

    Sounds like Social Anxiety Disorder(SAD)/ Social Phobia. I have a similar story actually: had a tight group of friends in high school and always the crazy out going one with a wild sense of humor. Lately I've become very antisocial. Avoiding any type of social situation. Whenever my friends call me to hang out I always come up with an excuse so I won't have to see them.
    I was properly diagnosed with Social Anxiety last year and have recently been talking to a therapist.
    S.A.D is also linked to depression and alcoholism. It helps to talk! The more you isolate yourself the worse it gets.

    All through school and college I had many friends. Then I divorced my husband and for vengence he tried to take my son away. I won but I did not trust people much after that. I know it's wrong,

    Hmmm sounds like you may be depressed . I dunno, depends on how old you are. Being 23 I assume people start calming down in the mid 20's which I'm starting to.
