How can I spend more time with my family when I'd rather be alone in my room all the time?

This is a hard one, particularily because i experiencd this feeling quite often. It depends on whether you don't want to be talked to, or you don't want to be around people. What i usually do if i do not want to talk to anyone i will simply just go and sit with them, but not offer to the conversation.

It is not wrong to have that alone time. Sometimes this silence is what we need in order to escape the stress and loudness of life. But hey, you won't be able to spend quality time with your family if you're gonna be in that quiet space all the time. Try, little by little, to go out there and spend time with them. Just being there with them can count as quality time. Just take things slow. Even just in a few minutes, try to be there; to actually be there with them. Genuine Family will always be there for you when you need them, for sure :)

Do simple small things, eat dinner with them. When they go out, go out with them. You'll still have time to yourself, but just spend some moments with them.

Just start out small. Begin by spending even just 10 minutes in the family room with then gradually build the time up. That way it won't seem so overwhelming or like as big of a task or a drag.

Try to spend more time with them slowly. Like try asking about their day (actually asking and listening) and have a small conversation with them or watching a show with them in your living room, then next try to go eat out with them (eating out for lunch is great bonding activity), then go picnic or go to the mall with them. Little things like that would make you much closer to your family, and thus would make you feel like you want to spend more time (if not all the time) with them.

Force yourself out of the self-isolation you seem to be seeking. Ask them for help and look for outdoor activities.

It's important to find a balance between time you need alone to recharge, but also spending time with family. The boundaries are important, but during this Covid-19 craziness, having the connections with family are equally important. Maybe let family know when you need an hour or so of solo time, and tell them to let you know when they need their "me" time too. Are there activities or games that you can do together? Or do you like to cook together? What kinds of things can you do together? It can be hard to do this when other family members may not respect your boundaries. For me, it's learning how to communicate your needs calmly, and being firm in those but gentle about it at the same time. Families are strange things. :) We need to be patient with each other.

I have struggled with this a lot in the past- I would much rather be alone, but I found it helpful to pick something I enjoy, like playing board games, and doing it with my family. Additionally, you can choose activities that you would have done alone, like watching movies, but do those activities with them rather than by yourself. I ended up picking up new interests and hobbies from my family that I would not have thought to try otherwise, and had some quality family time. Finally, you can try doing something you would typically do in your room, like reading, but instead do it where your family is. Hope this helps!
