Can anxiety disorder make you feel as if you really are not in the mood to socialize or be around pe
social disorder question. Is it normal to not really be interested in meeting and mingling with other people who you don't know very well, I find that I enjoy being around a select few when I'm in the mood, otherwise i have so many other interests to do on my own that i'd rather not be bothered it seems like a chore.and I get restless if forced to be in a situation where i am expected to go to dinner or something with others that i really have nothing in common with it's as if i don't really want to be bothered, Could this stem from my anxiety? I find that most people donnot interest me and i don't enjoy small talk, i do it because I'm basically a friendly person.
I think the answer is yes, but you don't need to have an anxiety-related condition to feel this way. It's certainly quite normal to prefer the company of people you are familiar with. If they feel comfortable with you they will no doubt have picked up the fact that sometimes you can be bothered more than others.
Solitude is a good thing for many people but I'm interested in the fact that you seem to prefer your own company. Perhaps this is just the type of person you are but I wonder if your question suggests a level of concern that its becoming just a little too easy to spend time by yourself? If you feel your level of anxiety is such that you find it stressful to be in company perhaps your treatment needs reviewing? If you feel that it's all too much effort and your interests tend to be home based and away from others you could be depressed. Unfortunately anxiety and depression are often associated.

I'm no expert, but that sounds exactly like me. I have anxiety disorders-to include social phobia. Maybe we should have been classified with anti-social disorder instead!
