Today, my friend, Samantha, and I went out to dinner. Samantha is great, but over Winter Break, we have neglected to see each other (Christmas and New Years are chaotic in both of our households and we both work what feels like 24/7).

When we were together, I felt incredibly uncomfortable. I had nothing to talk about and I felt anxious, which was odd. I've known Samantha for YEARS.

When I got home, I felt really sad for not enjoying my time out with her. A "normal" person would've enjoyed themselves, I think. I feel like there is something wrong with me. Lately, I've just wanted to be left alone? Is this normal?

    Use it or lose it. The less you socialize the less you will want to socialize.

        Uh-oh. It's happened to me before too. I go through phases where I drop off but I always come back.

        You don't even have to be introverted; it can just kind of happen on its own, particularly if you don't maintain your friendships properly. After some time away, it can seem like it's not worth the effort any more.

    Its very normal. I'm the same way...I would rather be alone then be around people who make me feel that way...there is like 3 friends of mine that I actually want to see... You may not be a "people" person..but you are yourself ....look at it this way..the world is crazy....maybe wanting to be alone might be a great thing..but life is beautiful if you find people that make you feel at home. Peace Love & light

    I too, can't stand being with people for a too long of a time, It's almost like I want to get away from them, Expecially the Big Mouth, Difficult ones. I feel better being alone. Or just with my Husband. Maybe you have some kind of Anxiety Disorder.

    It's normal to be introverted.
