isolation

[flyraeven]

Why do people voluntarily isolate themselves? Because i totally do. And the funny thing about that is I usually isolate myself more when I am lonely. How does that make sense? I guess I can see it. Theres a lot of shit i need to work through right now. Sometimes though I just don't understand the need i feel to constantly protect myself

I have wondered what you were hinting at - but I figured you'd tell me when and if you wanted to. I do that same thing, getting close to people over instant messanger and the phone. Somehow it seems a little easier then sitting across from a real live person.

But don't forget you've got people here, and we're here for you.

I think a lot of us do that. I know I do. I have closer friendships that live a thousand miles away than those that live 3 miles away. its like if people who aren't in your proximity know whats going on, then you aren't really admitting it... to an extent. I dunno. I really have to pee and can't think straight right now.

but we all have family shit and problems and what have you that we hide from the world, espcially those who might actually ever witness those things. its not as scarry for people if you're just explaining things to them, than if they can actually experience or empathize on a material level with whats going on....

again, not making sense. I got to get out of this coffee shop.

Sorry that things are so challenging. Be sure to make a priority of being with the people who are close to you, and by that I mean both caring and nearby... it's always especially hard to deal with the unexpected when you have so much on your plate that something has to give, but you're not prepared to decide what. Much love & hugs.
