I am going through that right now!. I am normally happy and I always have a smile on my face, but for the past couple of weeks, I just like being alone, can't stand people really talking to me!. I am just in a blah mood!. It might take some time to get out of it, or you need to talk to a doc!. I am actually going to the doc!. over this one!. Just keep your head up, and don't ever let anyone make you feel awkward for any reason!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Good question!.

The reason is that they lose interest to socialize!. Depressed people have low energy and have no motivations to engage with others!.

These people do not feel emotionally apt to participate in a group or family activites, becuase what they are feeling (sadness) is stronger and put them down without energy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone has down times!. It doesn't mean you are weird or abnormal, in fact some people are just better at hiding it so they give the appearance of normal!.

You should focus on the positive and explore what and why you feel this way!

When I was in my deepest depression I never wanted to be around people because I never had anything positive to share!. It was better to dwell on all that was bad by myself!. If I didn't see people I didn't have to share and nobody new the pain I was in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I did because I was just too tired and didn't feel like "dealing" with anyone's opinions, comments and so forth!. It's (it was for me) a lack of mental energy to cope!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well they withdraw because maybe they cant or dont want to express their feelings!. Or maybe they are just scared!. That used to be me but i realized that with them i am happy!Www@Answer-Health@Com

no i break down into tears when im depressed- now who would wanna see that!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
