I feel the same way too. This is the first time I've been in a successful relationship because my significant other is very understanding and doesn't mind all the mistakes I make. Generally I find it too exhausting to hang out with people and too stressful. I can talk to my friends online which I do quite often to keep in contact to ensure that I'm not being "distant". A lot of them complain that I don't hang out with them often, but I just can't handle it. I wish I could be who I really am, but people can be quite cruel to those that don't fit the social norms.
