Yes. You could be treated with anxiety meds and therapy and/or just force yourself if your able to ) to get out and go places and do things until you become more comfortable being out and about.
You may have a social anxiey though.

Maybe you just prefer your own company; there's nothing wrong or abnormal about that. Now if you're avoiding social situations because you feel shy and uncomfortable, you just have to bite the bullet and deal with the awkwardness for a while. It might help if you join a group centered around one of your interests (a gym, cycling club, sports team, reading or study group, etc); then you know you have something in common, and you won't have to search for something to talk about. Good luck - it'll get easier.

what you're describing is not antisocial personality, it's a social phobic personality. the good news is that there's a cure for the symptoms. there are medications such as luvox, but cognitive behavioral therapy may be better because with medicine, it comes back when you stop but with cbt, you learn to think and act differently toward the situation and symptoms.

If your not against taking medication, Paxil is used for people who suffer from social phobia. It worked for me,

Go anyway! Fellings follow actions.

I'm not encouraging it, but for me a few drinks help.

anti social is not a disease...is it?
