I don't think this is so much social anxiety as it is low self esteem and insecurity. The fact that you are not comfortable with yourself manifests itself in how awkward you feel in social situations. There's nothing wrong with enjoying alone time and being happy pursuing your hobbies, passions, and interests, but it starts to become an issue when you avoid people because you feel that they judge you. My advice is learn to love yourself. If you can't like who you are, you shouldn't expect others to like you either.
Is this social anxiety or something else?
