Is it normal to not know exactly why i don't like to socialize much ?

Is it normal that i am nearly 30 and that i don't know if i hate socializing because of being shy or having social anxiety or hating people and are jealous of them or because i'm scared of what will people think of me (or because of ALL of the above), i DO understand social ques and do know how to socialize and what to do /say and what not to do or say , so i don't have autism or asperger ,but the doctor diagnosed me and said that i have mild schizophrenia , so i don't know if i don't like to socialize much because of that . My question is is it normal to NOT know EXACTLY why i don't like to socialize much ?

    My mom reads up in psychology books trying to figure things out about me. I've got the same kind of problem with socializing, but she thinks I have any number of mental problems.

    How did you find out you had it, though? I mean, were there problems you noticed that led you to realize you do have mild schizophrenia? My mom talked to my regular doctor about "schizoaffective" something or other once, but he told her it wasn't his department, and I didn't understand a word of that. I was 20 at the time.

    And she keeps pestering me to get tested for stuff. I can't take much stock in it.
