I sometimes feel like this and worry that I’m becoming antisocial and boring. It just takes something small to snap me out of the mood, and it is always rewarding to smile or have a brief chat with someone and have it returned, when you’re shopping. I’m sure it’s an age thing rather than depression.

Ive noticed recently that i avoid people and my social groups at the drop of a hat if its possible. When food shopping i only go to one supermarket and am in and out just sticking to my list and not looking at anything else. Any other shopping is done online.
I just want to be in my home where I can shut out the world. I haven't heard the news today preferring my audio books for company rather than the radio, newspapers or tv. I dont ring anyone any more but will answer if my family call as dont want them rushing round to check im ok.
Just want to know if anyone else has felt this way or is it part of the aging processing or a kind of depression??
