I have come to the conclusion that i Honest to god, Really really don't like being around other people i don't know, I'm not insecure or Anti-social. I have no problem at all being within touching distance or even closer to people i DO know, But when i don't know the person i just feel like pushing them away. I get that feeling you get when you look at something and think "Wow that's disgusting" yet at the same time i don't really think that, i just get that same feeling but like i said only around people i don't know.

In terms of Social interaction i have no problem talking to people i don't know as i have many large scale group discussions with random people while i play video games over the internet all the time. So im fine talking to people i don't know but beyond that i just cant seem to figure out why i don't like being around them.

    Maybe you're "waking up" and sensing what they are.

    Or you're just a little bit awkward.

    I am kind of the same. I am ok talking to people at work but I value my time alone after it.

    Some people who want to socialize with me after work normally get warned that I will not answer their phone calls or go to their place to watch tv. I lost a friend that way and probably missed a chance to make some new friends and meet people.

    But if I spent time with them, I would probably dislike them a lot for making me do something I am not very used to doing or not in a mood for.

    I feel sorry for them because they cant seem to understand that some people enjoy being alone. For them it is weird.

    I used to have agoraphobia though and I always walk staring at the ground as well.
