I have felt that way lately...I think it was because I quit my job and didn't really know what to do with myself. I went out tonight and met up with my friends even though I didn't want to at all. I felt anxious when I was there because I know I haven't been around lately and I don't know what is going on in their lives. I left early, but when I got home, I felt a lot better because I did make the effort. If you just make yourself go out and see people and get into your old routine, I think that helps to get you out of your funk.

Well it seems you are kinda having some problems of yourself lately. People would say that you should get someone to share your feeling. That way it would be more better for you also. You want to be all alone or are you just being anti social? That you have to know for yourself! Homesick? Or just afraid of facing something. We all fear what we don't understand don't we? I am sure you will get over it soon! Cheers!

How long have you been feeling this way?,since your symptoms sound very much like SAD,(social anxiety disorder). If you've been feeling this way for a long period of time and nothing really bad has happened to cause you to feel this way, you just may have this disorder. Symptoms of Sad are almost exactly what you describe in your discussion.antisocial, anxious when outside your home,feeling off balanced ,nervousness are all symptoms of SAD. i would suggest that if these feelings linger, you should see a professional who may be able to diagnose your symptoms to see if you indeed may be suffering from this disorder,but don't worry, this may be just a temporary ailment and you yourself may be able to figure out just what causes you to feel this way, especially if this is something new that has all of a sudden come on you.

I think it is just a phase in your life, wherein you feel nothing is going right. Life can be serious de-motivator. I too have felt that there are times when I want to be left alone. I would hate the crowd. But one needs to pull oneself up and make the things look vibrant and positive.

Is there a reason for this or is it just a sudden feeling that you don't want to go out? Some times it could be hormones, in this case I find that exercise helps keep my emotions steady. If I feel anxious, exercise helps me feel less stressed out in social situations. If you already exercise a lot, then maybe you are just going through a phase right now. Read or watch stories that inspire you. That always helps me. If you don't feel comfortable with the people around you, surely you can find comfort in your favorite author.

what you are feeling is becoming asocial or detaching yourself from the society.. when you say anti-social, you are doing things that are not accepted in the society such as vandalizing on other people's property, robbing, etc.. maybe you are having some form of depression.. i think it would be best if you talk to a person that you feel most comfortable or you most trust.. try to open up to that person.. vent out your feelings.. that might help you.. :)

I have this often. Normally when I give myself "ME"time, I feel better. Being alone every once in a while, helps me to recharge my battery. Not thinking about problems, just watching some TV or doing something for me. Normally it only takes a couple of days, but I have experienced times when it took longer. Try to do things that make you feel good. Think about yourself, if you don't make yourself happy others won't either. When you feel happy, you will want to be social again. Give yourself some time, when it takes too long you can talk to a doctor. Don't let them give you medicine too fast. Try the "ME"time first. Its better than medicine. Take care.

i think i'm one of ur kind. i'm having similar problems and i'm having it for some years now. i just don't wanna attend social gatherings like party, or anything of that kind. i'm just happy to be alone at whom doing things i like doing like playing the guitar (which i've been learning to play on my own for a little over two years). yeah and the most important thing is, like u said, i just wanna be back to myself. i can't express myself or my opinions much when i'm with others.
