Always being alone (and feel lonely) unable to do social interactions by anxiety and even more (in fact more, I'm not so much scared of people anymore but It don't change so much when you're still socially inept) general weirdness, would want to have some friends but can't, always scared outside to the point of physical pain (got a form of arrythmia caused by stress, nausea when younger), obviously there is some enjoyable things to do alone (if honestly only do single activities don't help me since it don't develop a outgoing personnality good to do things with others since you don't have something to share) but it's not really worthy of all the negative sides (thinks so much about what I could do if you were outgoing and honestly in my case it's so much an obsession I spend more time to think about it than do things in my free-time, and it's not like extrovert can't go on Internet, read, ect....being extroverterd is just an win-win way of being) it's not so much of a life.

    From reading your post it sounds like you could possibly be affected by social anxiety disorder rather than (only) be introverted. Have you thought about seeing a specialist for this, if you haven't already?

    Anyways, I hope your life will improve. You could try to make friends online, unless that causes you too much anxiety.

        Yes, it's a disorder and a completely different thing from being an introvert. It's even possible for someone to be an extrovert and be affected by social anxiety disorder.

        extroversion = You recharge your energy from social interactions. Therefore you enjoy socializing a lot. This means extroverts typically have a large friend group.

        introversion = You recharge your energy from alone time while socialising makes you lose energy. Therefore introverts need less social interactions compared to extroverts. Therefore they prefer having a few close friends to having many friends. Nevertheless, introverts still need some social interaction.

        Social anxiety disorder = an anxiety disorder which involves having excessive fear of social situations; This means that individuals affected fear being judged negatively in social situations a lot. This fear causes people affected to avoid social situations.
