I Withdraw From Friends When Depressed

Not Your Fault

By: avatarunknown
Written on February 5th, 2011
Its true...
I am a hedgehog at heart. 
If I feel unhappy, threatened, or even just a tiny bit nervous,
I withdraw for a while. 
Go and read a book usually.


Not really ignoring you all - its my problem.  OK?

    I can relate to this at times. It's usually when I am feeling hurt or stressed, it's difficult for some to understand.

    I don't usually feel depressed but if unhappy or threatened I relate to this.

    I withdraw also; you must be a thoughtful, introspective and gentle person. I think withdraw is MUCH BETTER and KINDER to others plus it helps us "center" ourselves again. I agree with you so much.

    I'm the same. Don't like to be around people when I'm depressed, just like to escape into a book or just knit, knit and knit.

      What do you knit? Its a skill I have been unable to master.

    I can understand this too. Sometimes we all need time to ourselves, whatever the reason.
