My outlook on life was once great - career goals and comfortable lifestyles, but when I graduated High School everything changed...for the worse. My friends all moved on to college and we don't communicate anymore, the job market looks terrible and has left me at my parents with no income, and due to a phobia of driving I rarely leave their home or my room at all.
 The last 6 months of my life have consisted of staying in my room most of the time, trying to keep myself busy and pray that a job comes along, to no avail. After being away from others for so long (I live miles from other people) I've begun to get antisocial and people have begun to dub me "the hermit" due to my closed lifestyle. People have begun to become distant from me, and the only thing I seem to be comfortable with anymore is staying in my little abode. Even a recent relationship didn't work out - when placed in a new environment with her I panicked and retreated to my home, compelled by an unnamed fear.
With no friends left and hardly any contact with the outside world anymore, I'm beginning to see how isolated and (in a way) repulsive I am to others. All I know anymore is the confines of my 14x16 room that I am unwilling to leave...
Am I just antisocial because of my predicament, or is something very wrong with me?
