Yea, you weird! BUT, we ALL are at times, so, that makes you normal. Many people sometimes just want to be alone. Normally we are Social Creatures, but, sometimes we just need some space. There nothing wrong with not wanting to be around certain people, but, it is nice to try. Take the Grandparents. To you they may seem "Old School" BUT, research some music you listen to. You may be surprised to find that a Song/Movie are Remakes of something they enjoyed when young. Then be ready for some stories and be willing to listen. ASK them how they met, and, IF, you can, ask Grandma where/When they first made love!!! ;-p IF, Grandma not too inhibited you may open a relationship you NEVER imagined!

Actually the mention of you hating being around crowds hits really close to home. I am suffering from PTSD that has me with Social Anxiety and a fear of crowds. You very well could have a Social Anxiety issue, that could be treated through therapy or with meds. It may not be anything to do with your grandparents specifically--just that visiting them means a guarantee of a large group that causes you anxiety. If your parents agree there is something "wrong" then talk to them about getting you into a therapist, or just your family DR. GL and be well.

Sometimes even social people need time to themselves. And everyone has their own preference on personal space.
That you don't want a relationship with your grandparents is your right, however, all family relationships are easier if you at least try to get along with everyone in the family. You may want to come up with a good excuse so your nephews' feelings (and everyone else's) aren't hurt.

I don't know how old you are but I would not say there's something wrong with you. Not all people are sociable. At least you are self-aware, and you probably prefer being alone or around smaller groups of close people. I am that way, too and I am in my 30's. That's just how you are. I would not worry unless you are feeling bad or sad or depressed.

You may have some phobia of being in crowds of people. Personally I find it okay not to care if you have no person relationship.

Sounds to me like you might be depressed. Losing interests in things you normally like to do is one of the symptoms. You should make an appt. with you dr. and explain to him how you've been feeling and for how long so he can determine if it IS depression you're suffering from or not. Good luck and Good Health!

Could be just shyness. If you're okay in small groups of people you know, fine. Lots of people, even ones who are perfectly normal and social otherwise, dislike large crowds.

Chill Out. I went through that phase too and eventually after about 10 years it finally passed.

I'm the same way and always have been , when I was a kid
I never wanted a birthday party , and if my parents
threw one anyway I'd take off , I'd say you're normal for you
