There are two types of anhedonia - social anhedonia (this is a condition where you like to be isolated. You are least interested in meeting people, spending time with them or socializing.) and physical anhedonia (this deals in losing interest in physical sensations. You don't feel the warmth of a hug, sex is no more pleasurable for you, and even your favorite food is tasteless for you.)
