Mguy92 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 This may seem weird to some, and as a matter of fact, it seems pretty weird to be, but lately I've been thinking of just becoming a complete hermit, and closing off all possible methods of social interaction with people I know. I feel as though I hate being a teenager, and should just let the remaining years waste away. I've never been really social to begin with, but I feel like doing this for a while. Is this...strange? I seem to have no desire at all to hang out with my friends outside of school; I'm completely content on my own. Eh...I don't know what's going on with me but I've been feeling like this lately.

Jetta Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 You may be falling into somesort of depression. Taking a break on life has happened to me but I was severely depressed when it did. I think you should speak with your doctor. Link to comment
Mguy92 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 I was diagnosed with Clinical Depression in 8th grade. I think the severity is less now than it was then, however. Link to comment
D_Lish Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It's likely just a phase you are going through and no, I dont think its abnormal or odd.... It's more odd in my opinion, when people cant be happy and function, without others constantly in their lives. Link to comment
asthesparrow Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I like having hermit moments from time to time. I like to spend a couple weeks just at home focusing on my art and occasionally invite friends over for a coffee or some drinks and show them where I'm at and what I've been focusing/working on... I don't think it's a bad thing, but I like my seclusion... If you do go ahead with it just make sure it's for the right reasons (ie: NOT escape.. it will only make things worse.) Link to comment
Mguy92 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Escaping is something I want to do...I don't know why it would be viewed as bad, though. Link to comment

I don't think it's a bad thing, but I like my seclusion... I'm EXACT same. I take time out from the world often and to concentrate on my work. I love my alone moments and they can last for days at a time... But then I spring back into the real world and catch up with family and friends. Link to comment

I've never liked to escape because once I realise what I am hiding from and that I AM infact, hiding, then I feel bad and it catches up to me way worse. Link to comment
