I used to be quite social and enjoyed socializing and trying to make new friends/meet new people but in the recent couple years i’ve been feeling quite the opposite. At this point it seems i try to avoid any social interactions and/or socializing more than i need to. I sometimes try to avoid conversations and just feel no motivation to try to socialize for some reason. Even the thought of trying to meet new people kind of sits weird with me. If i push myself to socialize more and slowly get back into it one step at a time will i begin to want to socialize more and be more comfortable with it or am i doomed to be like this forever?

Hard to say, I guess it depends on WHY you’re avoiding the social sphere. I will say for myself that the better I got at socializing, the more fun it became, and the more I wanted to do it.
Pushing forward with an open mind will almost always lead to confidence and you being eager to socialize
Nope unless u get good at it otherwise I will want to do it less
I would say the more you socialize, the more you feel comfortable doing it and not having any issues rather than increasing the desire of you wanting to socialize. That desire is dependent on you and whether or not your goal is to socialize more or feeling enthusiastic about it.
In my case, I would say my desire to socialize will increase depending on the person or environment I am around. Even if I get the chance to socialize a lot at my job because I am constantly around others, that still won’t mean I will want to socialize more because some people really annoy me.
I figure this applies to a lot of people.
