I don't feel like having friends

I don't feel like having friends right now. I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone, call anyone or reply to any text messages. It seems like too much involvement. And when someone finally gets in touch with me they get worried and ask me why i didn't want to talk and if I'm okay. I understand their concern. And I'm worried I'm going to end up alone cause they're going to walk away from me and never come back.

  • Hello! I get worried sometimes if I make friends and they walk away! But your more than welcome to private mail me on here 

  • Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but my interpretation of what you have written is that you DO want to have friends, just that you currently feel in need of some space and time away from them... especially as you've admitted to feeling worried that they will permanently walk away.

    Have you actually told your friends that you need some space? If they are true friends, then I'm sure they would understand. I have a friend I've known for more than 30 years who sometimes goes through phases of withdrawing. When she's ready, she'll then get back in touch.
