Is it normal to feel this way about other people?

Is it normal that I can't be around anyone? For the last months I find being around another human being revolting. I have lost all ability to communicate my feelings or otherwise. I don't want to be seen or touched. Like when I'm at public places like the subway or the street, I look at people's faces and can only see them as mammals that make sounds instead of speaking words... they look so foreign. Ultimately, I look foreign to myself. Whenever I bring the hands to my face and my skin smells human I have to immediately wash them or put perfume on them. And the thought of coming in close proximity to another human or bond or go to bed with someone makes me want to cry. I feel so strange to everyone that it disarms me.

Does anyone feel this way?

    What if you met someone who had almost identical opinions to you on most subjects?

    Humans are very social creatures and you being revolted by being social may be an underlying problem in the brain. Perhaps a chemical imbalance? Either way I would seek some therapy and let a professional hear it.
    I know what its like to feel lonely and to hate being around other people, sometimes humans just suck. I felt more animal than human and I hated talking to people or being around them, there was a time I refused to wear clothes when I was alone. I knew that there was a problem and I went to therapy, and I got those problems solved.
    I wish you the best of luck

    I always think this when I find other people so veery stupid. It reminds me that we are animals. Do you live in a big city and spend to much time online or watching movies? sounds like it. If you want to change your aspect of people it will defenetly help to go on vacation at a rural place or spend one week camping at a beach or forest. This will most likely wake up your instincts and you will.. get better cause idk but that doesn't sound normal or healthy at all.

    Not normal. This sounds like you have an underlying problem. Were you harmed in any way? Were you molested? Have you always been this way or has it always been this way and getting progressively worse.

      don't just right away go and say that sb has psycological problem. I would cry as much as hell if somebody told me that. Try to be a little more considerate in how and what you say please. EDIT: i don't think that viewing people as animals has anything to do with abuse or hate.
