Iowa I dont think so at all. I think it is human. Perhaps you arent surrounding yourself with like-minded people. Doing activities that you really enjoy and therefore you dont feeling comfortable and connected. What types of a things do you do enjoy? Perhaps you are with the wrong group of people (if you are uncomfortable) People can sense discomfort too so it can make things feel awkward.

For instance, I am totally uncomfortable around large groups of people. If a group was going to a rock concert i would have to decline. If the same group wanted to go for happy hour after work, i would have to decline. It isnt that i dont want to be with them but i would rather go home and be with my cat and feel safe than make everyone feel uncomfortable while i was try to force myself to fit in.

In my healing I am learning it is ok to do things for myself and to honor my comfort zone. When i am comfortable those around me are comfortable
Thanks for this!
