    I'm not, It's the people I already know and dislike that I don't want to run in to.

    perhaps they are content with what they have - did you ever think about that? - nothing to do with fear - maybe they are just fine with the few friends they have - you are asking that question as if its wrong for others to not want to meet new people -
