Those who suffer from social anxiety and who prefer to be alone, have you always felt uncomfortable around people throughout your life or were there specific events throughout your life that caused you to become this way?

"My mom told me I used to be really friendly and outgoing when I was really little. I don't know exactly when that changed. I had the same awful babysitter from infancy until I was 12, and her kids bullied me pretty much a soon as I was old enough to talk. I grew up feeling inherently flawed, and learned pretty early to expect ridicule any time I opened my mouth, so if was just safer not to interact with other kids. This led to me not develop good social skills, which further perpetuated the bullying in school. Also, my mom was so afraid of how trusting I was with strangers when I was super young, she hammered home the "stranger danger" rhetoric. By the time I was in kindergarten, I took it to heart and was terrified to talk to strangers, even other kids. So there's that. I'm in my 30s now and my anxiety has currently reached such a low point, I don't even want to go into the hallway of my apartment building to do laundry, because I don't want to risk crossing paths with a neighbor.

I was very very social in my 20s and early 30s. From then on though I started pulling away from everyone, even my family. Now I don't hang out with friends or call my family anymore really. The only friends I have are the ones that hang onto me, through texts and Facebook. I don't know what happened. In my mid-40s, I started getting a lot of anxiety from being around other people.I just feel like I don't have the energy to deal with people anymore.
I was always super shy as a kid and constantly had the feeling everyone around me was secretly making fun of me behind my back. I was just super insecure growing up, a big part of that was probably because of my older brother. Eventually I got over the insecurity. I am still pretty quite tho.
Don't think there were specific events. My mom told me that when I was very young, I used to be relatively normal but at some point I just kinda...dulled down.
I've always been uncomfortable in large social settings. I never knew how to open a conversation with other people. I lead, still do, an uneventful life so never really had anything to talk about with other people. I didn't develop any hobbies until my teens, so I always felt a bit of an outsider when taking up football because so many of the guys. Add to that, my mother was one of those 'tries to be friends with your friends' type, so the few friends I did have she constantly encouraged to be around (every day), which was very tiring for me after a while, as it never seemed I had any privacy or quiet time - there always had to be someone around. So yeah, I've come to prefer solitude (probably unhealthily so), but I've just never felt comfortable meeting new people (even people wanting to befriend me makes me uncomfortable)
I have a severe anxiety disorder among other mental health conditions, and I can't remember not feeling sick, dizzy and having chest pains because my heart beating so fast for hours on end, whenever I'm around people or know I'm going to be. As of the last few months I've been on medication (most definitely too high of a dose) that helps me get to sleep and stops panic attacks, but I'm like a zombie with very little emotion and mentally slow. I know it's not great but it's a lot better than being in the terrible state I'm in without it.
i was a social butterfly up until i had to switch schools because of how my district was restructured and i wasn't with any of the people i had known since kindergarten, and realized how terrifying it was to make friends with people you didn't already vaguely know. got a little better around 8th grade, then had pretty much 4 close friends by the time i graduated high school (i had a few acquaintances that i was close friends with but i could never be close with more than a small number of people at a time). i feel like i'm in a constant battle of wanting to be alone because it's my default and it's familiar, and also wanting to be around other people but not having a close enough relationship with any of them to do so and being terrified of taking the steps to be closer
i got my pc
I think around grade 7 is when I started becoming uncomfortable with myself. As I got older I felt more and more like I was under scrutiny from everyone, at all times. I'm 40 now and I still have to remind myself that nobody gives a fuck about me (in a good way).
People just always made fun of me so when I found out it was happening more and more I just hid myself
