Is it normal that i hate being around people?

I can't stand being around people. Whenever I'm around even 2 or 3 other people, I just become angry and overall really distressed. I even have homicidal urges (that I've never acted on) sometimes. It's like it's impossible for me to be in a good mood unless I've had at least 90% of each day alone.
The only way for me to be comfortable around people is to drink or smoke weed. Is this normal?

    When I'm in a group of people, I have homocidal thoughts. I think most people do.

    When I'm out in public around groups of people that I don't know, I panic. My anxiety is psychically painful and I get extremely stressed out, but I've never wanted to kill anyone.
    Weed and Alcohol are often used as a way of coping. Alcohol and weed have different effects on you but both can really loosen you up.

    Sounds like you have emotional problems. It is possible that you may be afflicted with social anxiety disorder. If this bothers you enough, I would reccommend that you seek counseling and medication for it.

      I was in counseling for 4 years and on medication for 3. The counseling didn't help much and the medication made me worse, but I've been off of that for about a year now.

        You might need to find another practice then. Things like this require a second, sometimes third opinion.

    It's OK, they probably hate you too.

    haha I just wrote a story about this. I don't hate people per se, I'm just never in the mood to be around anyone most of the time. For me it's a mix between depression and anxiety. If you're in a bad mood you're not going to want to be around people.

    Social anxiety? Agoraphobia? Seek help from a counselor, there is nothing wrong with it, and they can help you a TON!

    Like Neuro said go see a counselor and medication can help for sure.
