I'm just like you. It's not that I don't like other people or hate them (that would be too draining anyways).
I have ADD and interacting with people is draining... I have to focus on the conversation and most people don't understand that sometimes they say something that gets my imagination going, which makes me lose my focus so I miss some parts of what they say. Until I notice it and zoom in on the conversation again. Which in turn makes me sometimes miss some crucial points. Even when they know I have ADD it still might upset them, even though I do my best. And that is just one example of what makes it hard for me to interact face to face. I prefer writing.
At my worst I even forget what I wanted to say mid sentence! Or I have to blurt it out and interrupt people...
