I avoid being in the kitchen at the same time as my flatmates. Is this odd behaviour?

Anon because this is very embarrassing.

I avoid going into the kitchen at the same time as my flatmates because I don't like interacting with them or saying hi. This includes seeing them in other places, such as walking out the bathroom. It's not that I hate them personally, but I hate interaction with people in general. It leads me to having very odd eating patterns and when I cook food, I minimise the time I stay in the kitchen as much as possible.

Today, one of them had a few friends over and they were in the kitchen (or milling around the kitchen) from about 11am to 5pm. During that time, I had to eat dry food that was in my room. I managed to sneak into the kitchen to cook something after they left, but I rushed back to my room as soon as I saw one of my other flatmates out the window coming back.

I have also done other strange things like adopted weird sleeping patterns (8pm-4am, for example) or had dirty dishes pile up in my room because I'm afraid of washing the dishes and my flatmates walk into the kitchen.

Is this odd behaviour? If you had a flatmate who did this, would you notice they did this and what would you think of it?

Put the internet to work for you.
