Is it normal to avoid social interaction?

Hello this is my first post. I was wondering if it's normal that I avoid socializing almost as much as possible because I don't like how I look?
Even if I meet people I'd otherwise get along just fine with, I'll avoid entering into relationships altogether because of this.

If not normal, is it at least understandable/reasonable?

    I avoid social interaction because I like to be alone. But what you mention seems to be low self esteem.

    It shouldnt be normal but I think alot of people have this issue. I do but I have alot of confidence.. the cause for me is bad experiences with being in groups of people. My moods also fluctuate, and these temperaments are fucking annoying. And my tinnitus makes people talking really annoying. So really im like a magnet demagnetising away from other magnets cause im the wrong connection! ha!
