Is it normal that i get nervous around people?

Is it normal to feel anxious and constantly paranoid when I'm around people? Basically I usually tend to isolate myself away from others because I was picked on as a child and I just feel scared to get close to people in fear they'll just not like me or something...Maybe i just need to get over my bullshit?

    Im on antidepressants and im not depressed. They emotionally numb me. The social anxiety is gone but im on auto pilot right now. Thinking without overthinking is nice. Theyre all on the outside and I dont care.
