Is it normal that i never leave the house and have no motivation?

I am 18 and I never leave the house. I want to go out though, I always decide that 'tomorrow I will go and search for a job/go buy something' but it's very rare that I will actually go and do it the next day. I've needed to deliver a letter for over 2 weeks now, everyday I think to myself that I will do it but it's still not been done. Getting a job is also an issue, I haven't been employed since Christmas and I'm not doing all that much to find a job. I want to, trust me, I do. I don't want to be lazy and unemployed forever but I find it extremely difficult to motivate myself to go outside unless I want a cigarette or buy alcohol. I've also lost contact with all my friends and I don't try to maintain friendships anymore. I have feared for a while now that I have something wrong with me mentally, I've questioned social anxiety or even depression because I hate dealing with people and I can't be in a big crowd of people, it terrifies me. I also have these moments where I get extremely upset/depressed and it makes me hate myself and feel even more disgusted with my appearance than usual. I don't know what I can do to help myself or if anyone else can help me.

    Of course you are normal don't think any different. You can always hire a prostitute to do an incall so there really isn't any reason to leave home in this day and age. Besides it can be dangerous out there!

    There are something's in life that you just need to get over. I stayed home all day everyday for 4 years (highschool), getting my ged was the biggest bitch.. but I got it.

    You're right, people are retarded. It's up to you whether you let them affect you or not. You are the only one that can stress you out.

    I say, just deal with it. In the end, it'll be worth it.

    Install a slide and roll out onto the lawn, covered in gravy and butter. Then let the neighborhood dogs drag you to your destination (McDonalds).
