I can be social for a couple of days out of the month, but the rest of the month, I want to be out of the public eye. I refuse even to shop, and I actually used to love shopping. But I can't stand people looking at me in public, especially at antichrist-mart, with all their stupid eyeball looking security cameras and their harsh flourescent lighting.
I feel for ya. Got PTSD (a type of anxiety disorder) and my computer and my house are my retreat. If I never had to leave, I probably would only leave a couple of times per month. I do feel safe in my car, or with my husband, though.
Blessings.
That may be normal for you, as long as your isolation isn't having a negative impact on your life. Social anxiety is an experience of various type of emotional discomfort: fear, apprehension, or worry
