i've been isolating myself from others since i was a small kid; and i still struggle with it to this day.
when i am overwhelmed by noise, or by people, i instinctively isolate back into my room - as i always have. it's not that i don't enjoy the company of people - it's just the only way i have learnt to cope with a world which does not take me seriously or accommodate it. and god, does it make me feel lonely and awful. but i just don't know how to go about it in any other way.
does anybody relate to this? has anybody been able to stop this, and how?
