Is it normal to isolate yourself when you feel lonely? I feel undeserving for any kind social life and interaction whenever I feel lonely and ended up feeling more lonely and empty because I often ignored everything when it hits me.
I will purposely forget to reply any text (not that I get any) and I will declined any kind of outing, even social interaction except for my family.
I feel lonely, oh so lonely I think it's eating me, it's driving me crazy and I'm sure as hell will end up alone till I died but at the same time I'm scared to be alone oh my god someone help me

The easiest thing to do when you feel lonely is to shut yourself off more but the feeling will only get worse. A couple of days to yourself is OK but don't fall in to a pattern. You need to try an push yourself a little to socialise. Seeing other people is sometimes the hardest thing to do when you feel low but it can be the best medicine. Good luck
ReplyIdk if it's normal but I do the same thing because isolation is my coping mechanism...
ReplyIf you want to get out of this mess, you need to push yourself. And pushing yourself is something which is said by a lot of people, almost all the time and it doesn't motivate people anymore. The point is yeah, pushing yourself beyond your limits is like a quote and u don't ever feel like doing it. Just because it's said a lot of times, doesn't make it any less important. You need to push yourself to socialize, to care, to CHANGE. Don't keep waiting for stuff to happen or to change itself, MAKE the damn change HAPPEN your own self. It will be hard, because it is supposed to be hard.. and don't believe that you can't do it because you are not strong enough. Because you are. We all just believe ourselves to be weak because of what people 'make' us believe and the circumstances in which we are in. It's not that you are not strong. It's just that you think you are weak. That's one of the few things which is stopping you from changing.
To answer your main question. Yes, it's normal to isolate yourself when you feel lonely. You want someone to talk to you and care for you at that moment, but you don't want to approach anyone on your own. But...sometimes, you need to approach people. If you want to not feel lonely, then you got to tell people what's troubling you. How else are they supposed to approach a person who wants to isolate themselves? I understand. Please. Push yourself, make the change in you happen by your own self. You are not weak. No one is.
ReplyMe too! I think the reason I cut myself off from people is because I find socialising hard. I feel inferior most of the time...and I get worried about what people are thinking of me, so socialising is not my cup of tea.
Replyits very common to self isolate yourself, you are not alone and its definitely something that I do too, especially when my mental health is not at its best and that one thing i've realised is it only gets worse. Try to socialise and get yourself of that hole although it may seem the impossible but you have to fight for yourself. It may seem the hardest at first, it get much easier and better.
Hope that helps ;)
