Do I have social anxiety or something?

[JW]

Ok so for about a month now I have been like a hermit.

My grandparents have been trying to get ahold of me for a while but I refuse to answer and I don't want to. It kind of annoys me that they even keep trying and that they b*tch about me not calling back. I just don't want to talk to them.

I moved across the country pretty much a little over a year now and I have had a good relationship with some of my closest friends even though we are so far apart but now, I don't text back I don't want to.

I work at Wells Fargo in a large team/group and when I am there, for the most part I am socialble and enjoy talking to people but not if they try to hang out or something, then I want them to leave me alone but I get annoyed when they ask me about things and go through someone else to do it.

I go to work and go to school and sit at home with my boyfriend, we have no problems and I dont mind talking to him and I don't get annoyed with him being around. we have been together 2 years almost so that is not from new relationship high.

I don't know whats going on cuz I feel kinda like a jerk but honestly I dont want to deal with talking or helping or hanging out with other people. I thought it might be a phase but it is not going away and I get even more annoyed when people try to talk (BOTHER) me lately.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

No, you are just a person who likes their privacy, and is mature enough to know you cannot please everybody.

It is a normal choice to limit your personal details to a "close circle" of friends.

At the same time, you should understand that your grandparents are bored b/c they used to have an active life, but now nobody talks to them b/c half their friends are dead, and their children are busy with their lives.

So send them a short note saying you are busy at work, and apologize for lack of communication. Keep doing it, they will get the message eventually.

That sounds like my life. I wouldn't even own a cell phone or computer if it wasn't for the need to be competitive at school and in the job market. It sounds mostly like you are just a hard worker by nature and you are confusing other things for that fact.
