How antisocial are you? Do you have avoidant personality disorder?

I'm so antisocial that even in videogames I try to avoid people. I played MMORPGs like World of Warcraft completely solo.
Now you probably think that this sounds extremely boring and weird but you know what? I honestly enjoy my gaming experience much more that way. I want to explore the world on my own and march to the beat of my own drums. Yes, it's not the real world but being a lone wolf always feels like pure freedom.

I guess I just don't like interacting with people both in the real world and even in the virtual world. Although I've met some friendly players here and there, I always have this urge to be alone again. Pretty sure that I suffer from avoidant personality disorder and social anxiety.

How about you? How antisocial are you?

Same, since most people wanted to be as powerful as possible in the game and become competitive then burnt out easily, it's not my playstyle that's why I barely talk to people

You start by being shy or socially incompetent. You become aware of this someday. Whenever you show yourself your social incompetence after that, it gives rise to social anxiety. The SA stops you from socialising, which makes you more socially incompetent, which gives you more SA. Eventually a point comes where you've gone so long without socialising, and with social anxiety, that the SA transforms into disgust for socialising. It's not that you can't socialise that stops you, it's that you genuinely don't want to because you despise it. My theory is this eventually starts transforming into a preference (although quite closely held) and then will stay that way forever.

Very. I had no problems socialising before I got depressed though. Now I can barely stand even being around other people let alone socialising with them. I hate myself too much to be comfortable in social situations, isolation has really fucked me.

This.
I'm not shy at all really. If you would meet me in person you think I'm a regular dude, maybe a little laid back but definitely not shy. It's just that I always had this tendency for wanting to be alone. When depression and isolation hit me at age 18 it only amplified it.

I resigned myself to the fact that relationships don't end well for me. The few I had have left me with enough despair, ill will, and intrusive thoughts to last me a lifetime. I do wish it weren't so, though. I find that whatever benefits never-ending, involuntary loneliness affords, aren't worth it.

I am a social recluse, I often go days without any verbal social contact. I am most certainly an undiagnosed 'Aspegers' Autist as my uncle is very similar so it must run in the family.

Also the years of bullying made me even more unsociable, it turned me into a misanthrope. My a-social personality makes it very difficult to hold down a job as colleagues soon start to turn agressive towards me and I end up leaving. Even if I did stay at jobs I am sure the company would get rid of me anyway. When I worked in a warehouse 2 years ago I overheard my bosses talking about the possibility of firing me. They said "We can't fire him because look how well he packs the pancakes". This is proof that they were considering firing me because of my inability to socialise.

Alcohol does make me more sociable as it decreases my anxiety so I wonder what impact using anti depressants would have as I plan to go on Jew pills.

I'm in the same boat but to say you want to be alone is cope however I do get the freedom part. But people like you and me are so insecure that we cant be comfy around normies cause there accomplishments mog us into another stratosphere

Really sorry to hear what you had to go through man. What about your early teenage years and childhood? Where you more sociable back then? For me it was that as I got older the more introverted, asocial, avoidant I became.

I think I described this exact problematic in my thread about my last office job. As time goes on the normies can sense that you are not one of them. They are like robots who scan you every day. When they realize that you are an awkward lone-wolf who puts up an act and doesn't even like to socialize, they will make sure that you lose your job by any means necessary.

I wasn't particularly social in childhood as I was always "shy" aka socially inept but I did have friends as friendships were easier to make when you were a child. In my early teenage years I didn't have many friends at school but I did have a small social circle and I played in a football team. I don't have any contact with any of my teenage friends nowadays.

No, I don't want to be alone but as the years went on I got more and more used to it. And now it's just more enjoyable to me.
Cope or not it doesn't even matter, it is what it is. I just have nothing in common with normies out there.
@Lain summed it up perfectly.
A part of me wants to socialize, to find friends in the real world, to get a girlfriend but then when I go through the motions of trying it, I get an overwhelming feeling that it's a drag. It's simply not enjoyable.

Not only is it a drag its terrifying knowing your sub human garbage. But saying you enjoy your loneliness is a gigga gigga cope my friend. Your feelings have just become numb and your more apathetic is all so your cope is on another level at this point. Which I can relate to. But when you hit 40 you will have a mid life crisis questioning every decision you've made. I dam near have a panic attack daily seeing how behind I am in every aspect of life.
