Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I dislike people and always wanna be alone. Is this ok? People make me anxious a lot and i just want to be left alone. Im 21 years old. Anyone else feel the same?

Ditto on disliking people and always wanting to be left alone. When that is okay is a hotly debated subject in my personal psych herstory. I believe it's okay that I like allot of solitude, but not so much when I am isolating with my anxiety. There is quite allot of difference between enjoying my own company and avoiding people because of my social anxiety.

Me too. I enjoy being alone. I go to restaurants ,shopping etc. alone. I am an introvert. The things that I enjoy are gardening, reading, walking. The down side is that there can be loneliness. If you have no strong friendships only a few people that you know here and there, it can be difficult. it is really hard with no family.

Im an introvert as well. Isolated myself though and disconnected all the people that cared for me and that was terrible for the healing process. I hate small things like picking up my kids from school. I sound like a horrible mom. But i get terrible panic attacks from it and feel like everyone is judging me. I agree with what arfie says though. =] best wishes and hugs

This is a some what sad post. I also love to be alone but there are times when we just need to have our friends and family. It may just be talking on the phone or emailing. But I can tell you that human contact can be a great help when dealing with anxiety.

There is no reason for anyone to be lonely. All you have to do is reach out to someone. And I am thinking that the fact that you sent this post on DS is that you know that there will be friends who want to help.

I have made so many great friends here and you can to. And you will never have to get together with them or meet them anywhere.

Give it a try.

    88FWhat I do like is early morning clouds and then they disappear and the sun comes out. That was it's cooler in the morning. I'm sitting here looking out the window at the hummingbird with the river and dike as a back drop. It's hard to invision ever leaving but I'm also a realist with aging, especially when the luncheon we had with thirty former classmates on Monday. Sandra, we get news of...
