Is it normal i hate being around people?

8 Comments

When I go outside to places such as a shopping center I honestly hate it, especially crowded places with lots of people. I get on edge and I'm scared they'll do something, I go in panic mode after some time having to be in a crowded place and I'm alert to every sound and movement nearby, because I'm afraid.

Eventually I get really aggravated, I feel like lashing out or attacking strangers nearby because their too close, I can't trust them, even when they might just glance at me I feel like ripping their throat out.

I know it's unmoral behaviour, I can control myself but I can't stop my urges. I only have few friends and only one person I trust entirely, although this is because I've known them for nearly all my life.

    Its not immoral. It's not normal. Your post indicates that you might be suffering from antropophobia. It is different from shyness or just social fear.

    The good news is that the fear of people can be overcome. The fact this fear can be so intense and all-encompassing is not in any way an indicator that’s its permanent. With proper guidance and with some consistent work, you can stop fearing people and learn to enjoy social interactions.

    I suggest you to Google the term and you will find some good articles to understand it and get professional help. I wish you the best.

    Im the same way. sometimes I imagine what it would be like if everyone on Earth was gone and I was the only person left alive.

    Being able to live in a shopping mall or having total peace to be able to do anything,

    You should act on your emotions instead of keeping them bottled up.

    The majority of us voting here agree (more than disagree) with you, which surprises me. I don't like being in crowded places, either. And I enjoy my privacy, my solitude. I become peeved, for example, if I've found a nook outside I can sit in and read in the early summer breeze, but then a loud, self-absorbed party crashes down on me. And I shop online for everything--including my textbooks, pens... The only thing I can't buy online conveniently is fresh produce.

    Anyway, I just wanted to add that there are others of us out here who get where you're coming from. :)
