Do I have social anxiety/depression? - Rosa - 06-21-2014 11:30 AM

I want to know if this is a normal thing or if there's something wrong with me. Sometimes I really hate people- my family, friends, etc.for no particular reason, they just get on my nerves and I find myself thinking I want to be alone. Sleep is escape from people for me, its my favorite part of living. Its not that people scare me, or that I'm shy; its like they disgust me and repulse me. And it isn't just other people; its me too: I really hate myself even more for disliking social contact. I feel like I go through my life faking affection, as if I have no capacity to feel. When I don't feel like this, however, I feel incredibly lonely. My emotions are very conflicted when it comes to people- part of me wants human contact, part of me is repulsed by it. Is this a symptom of depression/ anxiety or is this just my personality?
On a side note, I have other symptoms of depression as well, sadness, emptiness, fatigue, etc... So that makes me thing its just another symptom. I have an introverted personality anyway, so idk if this is my personality or what. Oh and on the subject of romantic relationships I have even less desire for them, love in that respect seems pointless and sex/ intimacy disgusts me even more. So please if you can relate or have any insight into my situation, please answer. And thank you~
