It's usually because they're afraid of getting them involved, or being a burden towards them. They don't want to bother them, and they don't want to break their happiness by being depressed and they don't want them to have to worry C about them constantly.

Being depressed has this impact on a being and they seclude theirsleves.. They mostly push away their loved ones because they do not want them to get affected bu the sadness they have and they do not want their love ones to feel like they are not loved back and appreciated.. They simply care about the love ones and they have.

It's hard to love someone else if you don't love yourself , depressed people may not push others away intentionally but because they don't understand why someone could love them or want to speak to them
