Although I haven't suffered in the way that you have, I also find that I'm becoming less and less interested in people. I used to think that if I could magic my social anxiety away I would suddenly be transformed into a social butterfly but I've come to the realisation that I'm the type of person who can only tolerate people in small doses. If I totally click with someone (and that's pretty rare) then I'll happily chat away forever but if we are on a very different wavelength then prolonged social interaction can become exhausting and unfulfilling.
I don't think not being interested in some people makes you at all selfish. Your time and the effort you put into a social relationship is precious so why spend it on people who don't particularly interest you. That wouldn't be fair on you or them.
It's great to hear that despite having faced so much adversity in the past you have come through it all as a strong and more confident woman 
I'm not sure if I've made an awful lot of sense here but I wanted to respond to your post  |
Thank you so much for your reply
You made a lot of sense
