I realise most people have social anxiety and I have that too to a degree when I'm meeting new people or have to give a presentation, but at the same time despite being largely introverted I have kind of the opposite problem: I feel guilty and can't enjoy spending time with myself at certain times. For example, Friday and Saturday nights; or if it's been too many days since I hung out with somebody.

I feel guilty because I think I should be hanging out with someone and I have to say that generally being with people, even with people I don't really enjoy the company of, does make the anxiety go away. But as soon as I'm alone in the weekend I feel anxious because I'm alone and can't enjoy doing the things I've been planning to do during the week (reading, playing video games, etc).

I think part of it stems from my early adolescence, when I'd spend a lot of time alone (enjoying it as far as I remember), but my mother kept pressing me to go out with friends, making me feel inadequate for enjoying staying in and watching movies or whatever.
