I get in moods where I’m not feeing well… thinking I’m being followed… or I get down on myself and don’t want to bother my family with my head circus… or sometimes… its almost painful to be around a lot of family…

That is when I isolate…

It’s not just us with a diagnosis… neurotypiclas need some quiet time too. It’s just for me… making sure I don’t make the quiet time go on and on. I do tend to isolate.

But I like people and I like being out. But it’s hard after a while and I need to retreat

I can go ages with being withdrawn. Then I get very social and it’s important to me. Doesn’t take much for to withdraw again though.

I isolate in that I keep indoors a lot but then again I have no one to be social with. If I go to a cafe there might be people at the other tables but I’m still sitting on my own.

I like to think I have God with me all the time but then I think He even gets bored with me and we would rather be out amongst the public. It can be quite dramatic with only the interactions I have with reading others body language, eye contact and maybe a few words with the cashiers or other patrons…

And to mention, the medication Gabapentin s side effects cause the patient to be more sociable and excessively talkative. Ask your doctors about this med for it is being used more as a psychiatric medication although it’s mainly labeled as an anti- seizure medication while it has other off label uses as in my case where it has been prescribed for the damaged nerves in my back.

I suppose I am quite unsocial, although I would like to be more social, just one symptom of my psz.

Both.

Past isolation has been a safety cocoon and a hindrance when isolation kept me from venturing out.

Reading keeps me quiet and informed with the world around me but it also tempts me to want to interact with those working on projects I am inspired by.

I isolate to the point that im ant-social but thats ok because society in its current state offers nothing that I want to be part of.

I’ve been doing better socially recently. I was never really good at it.

I tend to isolate but my partner and her little sister tries to get me to socialize.

I’m the same. I tend to isolate. Sometimes, I’m not even aware that I’m doing it until after the fact. I know that I need to pick up the phone more often and check on folk. I’m not really the type to visit unless they come and get me.

I am very extroverted. I am an ENTJ, check out your profile too http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

Here’s me

I am pretty sure I’m an extrovert, but I prefer smaller groups of people and one on one attention. From what I remember I’m also an ENTJ.

I don’t feel like taking another test right now, because I had a rough night at my cat ranch.

My feelings exactly, but I’m afraid to open up to people because of being teased and somewhat bullied as a kid…so now I just don’t trust anyone.

I tend to isolate, except for my wife and father who lives with me. I have a few select friends i see occasionally, but not much.

I’m a lone wolf. The only people I socialize with are my parents. It’s come to a point where I do feel lonely but I’m afraid to trust others. I realized when I was going to school for my video game degree that I wasn’t afraid to say hello to girls on the street. Just goes to prove that if you have somewhat of a future outside of mental health disability your confidence can get a boost.

Society in it’s present state is worthless to me as well.
