I am starting to feel the same way. Like Mr. Stranger I am starting to have a really hard time wanting to be around people.
Recently I have been winding down a lot of my friends, getting rid of Facebook. At first i was scared it was a bad thing for me but what I am finding is that I feel better than ever. First, just the time that used to be expended talking to them is returned to me. Interestingly, that is a lot of time. Then I don't feel, I don't know, trapped in messes of their own choosing. I can't help but feel that what they really want is assistance from me, in talk or otherwise and I am tried of providing it.
So when a new person latches on to me, a person who clearly will not be able to ever assist me in any manner, I am happy that I am starting to recognize and take active steps to change it. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of her. I am thinking about just not responding.. rip the band aid off.
