Sup /an/,
My cat has been super anti-social lately, it's really unlike him, he runs away from people (including me) when they try to pet him and he doesn't seem to want to play as much as he usually does. When I do start petting him he'll enjoy it for a couple seconds before getting really aggressive and attacking my hand.
When I adopted him his previous owner had removed his front claws. I heard declawed cats can be more antisocial and aggressive, but he's been really friendly and playful up until now.
The pic isn't my cat by the way.

Any changes in your life that could stress him?

No, things have been pretty easy as far as I can tell.

Okay.
Well, sometimes cats just want to be left alone.
Do you "force" yourself and your petting upon him?
If yes, then stop doing that, and let him come to you. Call on him and make cute noices and all that.
Maybe you haven't given him enough treats lately.
My two cats become savage annoyances if they don't get treats once in a while.

Because it's a cat
It probably got bitten by a brown recluse. Take it to the vet.
