    don't want to talk

    Does anyone else on here just not feel like talking to people? I'm this way mainly at work, but sometimes at home. I just find that I don't care about people's lives around me. I don't want to have a conversation, except with my family. I get frustrated with people who keep talking to me, I just want them to go away! I distance myself from people for a reason. I can't type much right now cuz I'm on my phone, but anyone else feel like this?

    Things sort of get overlooked on the little sub forums.

    I think what you have is pretty common and is in fact human nature . Even my kids do this when they are upset .

    I use to get it alot but not so much now.

    Its pretty hard to sit there and listen to some people carry on with shit when you are dealing with so much .

    I would not say that there is something wrong with you but it is something that you need to work on .

    It just worries me because I feel like this all the time. I don't care about peoples lives. I only find myself pretending to.

    Hi daisy
    I have been feeling like this for past few months now too. Finding it so hard to go to work and do what i do . Listening to others is too much these days. My mind and body just wants to be alone. I can empathise with you and how u are feeling. Im starting cbt counselling soon. Also on lexapro for 2 wks now.

    Hi Daisy

    You are definitely not alone. I'm like this to a greater or lesser extent all of the time. Right now I am finding it very hard with my loved ones and that tends to start a whole vicious circle going!

    I have better days than others and I guess I just try to make the most of those.
