I don't have social anxiety. I don't have problems starting up conversations with people, going out (by myself), etc etc. My problems arise when people try to get too close to me, too quickly. I like having my space, and when people pop that bubble it makes me anxious. For example: before my courses begin I like to sit by myself and read, or do extra course work. That's all I did in undergrad. Now that the building is smaller, I have one person who constantly wants to be near me, talk to me, text me (I unwillingly released this information for a project; regret), and I don't like it. We have similar interests (I only knew her for 2 days before she started the constant communication), but I feel overwhelmed by her presence and I don't know what to do about it. It makes me anxious when I go to classes that I used to really enjoy, because I don't want to see her. Partially because I ignore her messages which are usually her just complaining about the material, or making fun of my work ethic. Sometimes I even end up sitting in my car before class starts so I can avoid her.

Am I alone in this feeling?
