Is it normal that my psychologist doesn't believe me when i wanna be alone?
I have GAD and I don't really like people all that much. He (my psychologist) thinks I isolate because I'm anxious around other people, which is partly true - but not always the case. I sometimes worry about making a fool out of myself in class and messing up in other ways, but I'm usually able to laugh it off and forget about it. But of course I feel anxious as it happens.
My psychologist is postitive that this is the reason why I want to be alone, but the reason I want to be alone is because I have nothing in common with my peers and being around others rarely excites me. I don't think it's as great as most people want it to be.
He refuses to believe me, even though I've never been that interested in other people and my GAD diagnose is very recent (and I mostly worry about my health). I get that he's the expert and all that, but why won't he believe me? Is he trying to convince me that I'm wrong about my own feelings and personality, and if so, is that normal?
