Can someone interpret my feelings for me?

Question

I'm always around my friends and family.

I am a really social, happy, nice person.

Lately however, I'd rather be by myself than with my friends. Being around them feels stressful lately, like I can never impress them or have fun around them, What is this? Like right now my friend said she would call me this morning to hang out and I am dreading the call because I don't want to at all.

Answer 1

really depends on how long you've been feeling this way... if its been a week or two, then it may be no big deal...

if this kind of thing is really abnormal for you, and it carries on for months, then check it out with your doctor...

Answer 2

It sounds like you're a little depressed. You are allowed to take some time off from family and friends every once in a while just to be with yourself. Hanging with your friend is your decision. If you don't want to be with her then go and spend some time with yourself doing something productive and creative. Give yourself a break. Do something that you love doing.

Answer 3

I would say you are a little depressed, but don't worry, by the sound of things you will be able to just get over it yourself and don't need a shrink/medication. ;)

Just take time for yourself, do nice things to yourself. Buy yourself flowers or chocolates, just because you wanted to and to treat you. Have nice long baths, read your favorite magazine.

If you feel this way than thats your head telling you how to help yourself. Maybe you just need some time on your own away from your friends for a little, and you will be ok after a week or two.

Sometimes things get too much and we need a time out. This is normal, everybody gets it, and everybody just slows down, takes care of themselves and get back to normal.

In my mind I see you in a bathtub with candle light, slow music and essential oils, reading a magazine with the phone unplugged and the door locked, and a glass of your favourite wine or juice. Or at least thats what I would do. xx

Answer 4

Sometimes a person just wants some private time. You rarely get it, and now you want it. It sounds okay to me.
