I just don’t have any interest nor do I feel the urge to do so. I feel like socializing and even hanging out with friends is a chore and I want less of it and I never understood why. Why don’t I feel like making connections or socializing with people?

Social anhedonia cannot be explained by social anxiety or exclusion, rather, socially anhedonic people genuinely prefer solitude, and they report less social skill, contact, interest, and pleasure. They also tend to show more negative affect, and less positive affect, social support, and skill in coping. Men reported significantly greater SA than did women. Participants with less than a college education reported above-average levels of SA, and participants with no education had the highest levels of SA. The researchers suggest that the stress of social and economic disadvantage may limit a person’s ability to experience pleasure in or motivation for social interaction. At the same time, SA may impact an individual’s ability to create a social network, reducing the size of the support system to buffer against socioeconomic stress. People living in less populous areas reported more SA, even when accounting for age and gender. Fewer chances to socialize may make it harder or less motivating to seek out social interaction, the researchers explained. However, a lack of interest in socializing could also lead a person to seek out areas of residence that have fewer people, where social interaction is less likely to occur.

I don't find socializing interesting at all. I'm just not tempted to go outside and socialize with people. I'm having an aversion when it comes to socialization. Two years ago I was socially anxious and awkward around people and I still am sometimes. Going out with friends seems boring to me. I truly enjoy my time being alone. And I don't feel lonely. I'm just not interested in having relationships with them. I don't pursue them. I don't talk to them. When I think about marriage, I'm imagining a moment when I have to live with that person on a daily basis for the rest of my life. This idea alone makes me... I just can't stand the idea of living with a person.
