I'm not sure if this is a bipolar thing but I use to be a bit of a social butterfly. I had a great desire to constantly plan get-togethers, try to make lots of friends and loved to be the life of the party. Of course my erractic behavior didn't keep people around for long but it didn't stop me from trying. Well in the last few years I've pretty much cut ties with most friends & even some family members & I started to live a life of seclusion. I avoid leaving the house unless I have to & I don't have any desire to make any friends. Just the whole thought of socializing now gives me anxiety. Can anyone relate?
