I’ve had this problem for quite some time. I’m 25 and as far as I can remember I don’t like most people, but yet I have the need to socialize. I’ve always thought I’ve been an introvert but from what I’ve heard and read, introverts enjoy being by themselves, I don’t, Yet I don’t like most people. There are people I want to be friends with but it’s really rare and I feel like most of the time I do meet random people they’re just annoying, when I hang out with the people I want to be friends I feel annoying. I just don’t know whether I am introverted or not. But it bothers me so much that I want to socialize but don’t like most people, does anyone know why??

I (18M) have the same issue. I don’t know why is this so but I have come to the realization that me seeing a lot of people having friends and relationships in real life in movies and the constant bombardment of posts of people living their best life makes me feel a bit left out and it makes me want to socialize. So not really a need, but more of a want born out of hope. It was relieving to see someone in a similar situation. I hope we both figure this out soon.
