I've been isolating myself these past two weeks. I've been thinking about coming out, but to who am I supposed to come out if I barely have any friends? I feel bothered when I need to talk to other people or stay with them in a room sometimes. Is this something that I should be worried about?
Isolation is a really bad coping mechanism that, yes, you should worry about. I know how it feels though, I completely isolated myself from everyone I know for 18 months. Currently, I've fallen back into that, and my "friends" are really pissed off about it (which is pretty shitty.) So yes, you should worry about isolating yourself because it creates wedges between even your closest friends, and strains your mental health quite badly.
Isolation is what i have done for the last couple of weeks. I am trying to meet poeple, doesn't help that i live in a little village and not able to drive due to medications. I have to agree with peachygogh that i do suffer from society anxiety and stems party from not being truthfull about myself and also to myself.
Okay then. How did you stop doing this after those 18 months? Society anxiety? What is that? It makes sense, I guess. I just have a hard time trying to communicate because I'm too shy and sometimes I just want to be left alone.
I don't blame you for wanting to be left alone, I feel that too quite frequently. Social Anxiety is what he means, it is probably an auto correct error.
myclosetisfull , you are right but just bad spelling and not re reading it before i sent it. Sorry about that Night dreamer. "Social Anxiety". Have you thought about some therapy ?
I heard about that one, but I never thought about it as a possibility. I never tried theraphy for that.
