lately, i only enjoy interaction with others; tv, reading, etc no longer entertains me. reasons why?

i used to be somewhat of a loner (not entirely) and most everything was able to half way entertain me while alone. i was satisfied and felt entertained. recently if i don't have people around, i can just sit and literally just stair at a walls or just day dream in and out. absolutely no interest sometimes to watch tv or listen to music etc. i have become a lot more social, but when the contact goes away it is as though everything else is just fake...a cheap substitute for real living beings.

and yet i'm afraid to get more socially involved due to my past loner ways. i am in a heck of a rut.

lonliness is more rare for me cause of my increased social life, but when i'm alone it has become horribly depressing. lonliness eats away at me and i can't self soothe anymore.

    There must be some reason you feel upset being alone lately. You need to think if anything has happened recently that might have caused this. It could just be that your interests are changing and you are ready to experience a more social life. Why are you fighting it so much? If you indulge in the social life that you seem to want for awhile, maybe in time you will be fine being alone again. However, if in time you still feel like all you want is human interaction and you don't want to be alone, I would do something about it. I feel that people who cannot be by themselves have an issue of some sort, vice versa also. Just relax and try and think of what is causing this sudden change in your behavior.
