Is it normal to want to be near others, but then want to be alone?

Sometimes when I'm on my own, I feel really lonely and want to be with other people, but when I'm with other people I can think of nothing better than being alone. Is this normal?

    I get the same way. If I'm around people for an extended amount of time, I need to go to another room and feel the silence for a while. I guess it's anxiety.
    I prefer to be alone most of the time.

    Being with others is better than being alone. Friends are golden.

    I've been told I have anxiety, so I guess that fits. Am on meds for it, have been for a year, but doesn't seem to be working.
