Work on a balance, that's all. Your instincts are working to protect yourself being from harm by people, just like they were there to protect you from loneliness before. Just monitor yourself and keep from going too far one way or the other. Ixion's got the right idea. Exercise is good (though I hardly ever do more than go for a long walk), and talking to a doctor or counselor is a really good idea if you feel like your behavior and thoughts aren't matching up with how you see yourself.
