I’m not that social with most people, only towards certain people that I trust, and that’s not a lot of people.
Yes being antisocial is part of the illness.
SZ/SZA depression and anxiety
I’m selectively social. Avoid people that aren’t a good investment of my energy.

Socializing has been rough lately.
I don’t know if I was ever amazing at it, but at least back in the day I had enough confidence to give zero fuucks about the words coming out of my mouth.

I’m introverted and asocial. I’ve never been able to talk a lot or keep a conversation going.

I am asocial but i have few friends i spend time with once in a while.
I am social but not too much, not the type who will talk to random ppl in the street. I had a friend who did this, he’s too social and never shy. He has like thousands of friends.

I’m not. I talk to quite a lot of people and have many friends. Somehow, lol, though I frequently feel like most of them are one way

Off meds I tend to social isolate and not talk to my friends.

As is typical for an autistic person who also has a SMI my social interaction difficulties were in place many years before the SMI. There were no friends to desert me on becoming severely mental ill. There was no dramatic before and after in terms of social skills.

My social skills improved only after learning to unmask after being diagnosed with autism funny enough
I am not asocial. But not social butterfly either.
People used to say about me that I don’t speak much. That I need to. Only two people were against this advice - my mom and my psychiatrist. I ended up taking people’s suggestion.
Some of things I say were so inappropriate. Some things I said contributed to badly to anxiety and a psychotic episode.
Should have listened to doc and mom. Now I have to learn to stay quiet and not say unnecessary things.

You are far from overweight. It is all in your head. 
Mostly, that seems like common sense.
I’m most def a suburban hermit
Moderation is good.
