Is it normal to not want to hang out with friends?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. It’s normal to want time to yourself or to feel less social sometimes, even if you care about your friends.

You might be tired, stressed, busy, or simply craving some quiet time. Friendships don’t require you to be available for every invite, and plenty of people go through stretches when staying in sounds better than making plans.

If you’ve stopped wanting to see anyone for a long time and feel lonely or unhappy about it, that may be a sign to check in with yourself or someone you trust. Otherwise, it’s fine to decline plans kindly and make room for the kind of connection that feels good to you.
