How to stop pushing people away?
For the last couple of months, I have been feeling increasingly depressed. Instead of asking for help from people in my life, I have been avoiding people by spending more time alone. When I am with people, I feel like I am constantly playing a game of deception.
I feel this bad because I am getting increasingly fed up with society's expectations of what I am supposed to act like. I feel stuck because I am too cowardly to tell anyone how I am feeling and why. I know that I cannot get through this on my own, so does anyone have any advice on how to not push people away?
Hey! I thought I would give an update on this thread. I forced myself to have a conversation with my parents about all the things I was hiding from them and why.
It went very well. I don't think they blamed themselves and I think I am going to go back to therapy, because I don't feel that I have to hide it from them.
Hey! I've been through this since several years ago. I could use some help 😅
