- Whether you like being alone or have an introvert personality, in this video, we cover some of the more common reasons you don't like being around others. Even though we are socially wired to want to connect with others, sometimes it is okay, even if you like being alone forever.
In fact, people who like to be alone, have many amazing qualities as well. Don't feel too bad if you feel like a loner sometimes.

For those don't like being around other people so much. We're curious what are your reasons, comment below!
I have a lot of stresses,i don't like lound,i feel like no one well understand my feelings and even time i alone i kept thinking negative things in my life,I used to tell my feelings in the family group but only my father answered but the others didn't even answer that's why I thought who cares about my feelings.😭😭😭😞😞😞
I'm an introvert. It is so exhausting for me to be around ppl. I also cannot tolerate a lot of commotion. 😊
I'm an introvert I don't show my true self to anyone I feel like I'm supposed to be happy but in truth I'm not I just hate being around people and can barely even express anything behind my shell no one can understand me I lost interest in everything I did in my younger years I just feel alone

I’m impartial with people. It’s of course the personality of the company I surround myself with. Too much attention seeking individuals are quite irritating for my liking. I think all in a bunch of people it should be respectful to others and to wait for their turn.
I don't mind being around people. It's just that I want to be around people that understand me and actively put in effort to make me a part of their lives.
This. I've started having a more logical approach to my friendships and I've realised just how many freiends I ahd that didnt do this!
The more you dont care about being understood, the happier you will be. Only focus on what makes your life worth living, your passions, your purpose, what brings you alive, whatever that may be. Let everything else go. The right people will then gravitate toward you. Its all an internal job.
I believe a lot of it depends on the situation - but we have to remember that it's really up to us as individuals to decide who we really feel we should be, and who we surround ourselves with . I've had to sacrifice some strong friendships for a better peace of mind, and I think it's working out fine .
I live alone. My family was toxic. I need time to heal. They hurt my self-esteem when I was young. I'm older now and don't want to have that feel. I am not playing that part. Boundaries were not enough until no contact. They will never understand. Never change. I am okay no matter what.
Do you make efforts to make sure they are in your life?
I love being alone. It's the very best, I relax more, I have more fun, I'm not stressed, not judged, not obligated. I can go on and on about all the reasons I love being alone.
I agree with you that you relax more and have more fun. I, myself is also an introvert and like to have my quiet time. :P Do you spend quality time with others? - C

I think it's useful!
Yes! It is ty💜
shut up
All of these .
Yeah,useful.
Stress is a big factor. I'm using the book called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels for letting go of more stress this month.
To introverts the classical definition of hell, is people. 😅
If you feel like people don’t understand you, try being around activities that you like, attracting people that are like you! 😊❤
Agreed! 💯
That's the key . And a growth mindset .
I can relate to this as an introvert and HSP I have to be aware of my time with others vs time with myself. If I don’t spend enough quality time on my own to reset from all the stimulation from others, I stay drained and overwhelmed easily
We're definitely alike in that regard 💯
1. Traumatic experiences(that made me feel Afraid of almost everyone in existence)
2. People around me are rude or don't respect my boundaries.
3. I live in a toxic environment that don't even understand my feelings, boundaries and my sufferings.
4. I wanna be alone to understand myself better.
5. I got mad easily, so I don't be with people because I'll get mad at them for no reason and that'll be super toxic.
If it’s possible maybe a change of scenery will help!😊
Sry about that mate
Are you spying me or why you described me perfectly? 💀
Exactly how I feel

Yeah I'm always left out when I'm around people in my school.. But t I love in my family I never feel left out in my family
@@Immakpopstan136 You are very lucky, blessed to have such a family, most people dont!
@@Immakpopstan136 I have a one mini group that I feel comfortable around,and I like them,but stil *Alone Time* is EVRYTHING. My family well they are chaotic,well I mean my parents- 'cause I'm the only child in the family (THANKFULLY),My mom is always in a Chaotic mood and she drags dad to be with her and cuddle whole time. Dad is tired of it,but she loves her ofc.
My mom makes me so angry- she is just annoying- she is so talkative- I love her ofc- but I just want some peace!.
When they say that they are going somewhere- I'M FULL OF HAPPINESS.
I love them both(dad more-) but I just love when I'm alone.
I love beeing with dad much more tho- For example I went to Cinema with dad and I loved it!After the movie we went for a Drink and I enjoyed the time with him...like very much.
Just like when I was a kid,He was always with me,I miss that time. I miss the times when I was alone with my dad home,playing with him and telling stories for goodnight.
....
I just wrote a whole Essay- 😶
Prolonged eye contact with an attractive person is the most confident and deeply connective thing you can do, practice this daily!
@@_NInjagoFandom_ its ok i read it all but its relatable my mom is too talkative too ! Same😁
I am a introvert & enjoy being alone & staying to myself! If I'm out & someone speaks I'll speak back,but I was just never big on crowd's of people from past traumatic experiences
People cause nothing but conflict and are not fun to be around. It seems too many people in modern society LOVE drama and conflict and always want to engage in it in social settings. That is one reason why I prefer to be alone.
I’m pretty similar to what you’ve commented. Drama is so lame. It’s why when it gets bad I mutter these are the days of our fuxken lives. It’s so annoying as, countless dramas.There’s better things to do in life than constant garbage like dramas.
This is just one of the few reasons why I'm a loner too and rightfully so. I don't enjoy people's company at all and being around them is draining enough. So I've made a decision to not bother with relationships and social connectivity with others because I don't enjoy those things anyway.
I am definitely an introvert.
That said, one of my reasons is that I grew fed up and tired of being bullied. It comes from
• Teachers in elementary school assaulting for mistakes.
• Professors in graduate school ridicule for thinking of a different theoretical framework from the one under study.
• Bosses who ask for opinion and then scold you when yours differs from tis.
• School chums and playmate who laugh when you can’t play games as they do - and do little if anything to teach you.
Eventually you get tired of the mistreatment, maltreatment, and sometimes non-treatment; and decide it’s better to lead a solitary existence and stay away from people as much as possible.
I find other people very selfish and draining. They talk too much and don’t bother to ask you anything about yourself. They don’t respect boundaries. I am chronically ill and yes I can make friends very easily but I tire super easily bc I haven’t found people who aren’t boring or into themselves too much and it’s just very stressful and they have this energy that’s too stimulating that gets me so exhausted I’m over it in two hours. My battery is done in 2 hours. I am very happy with my own company and yes I am definitely an HSP and react to their emotions and feelings
2 hours is a long time still I'm like 10 minutes. But depending on the person
@@Omen465 10 minutes is a very long time.
I do find people are exactly selfish and extremely self absorbed. It’s all about them. It’s not how I prefer to surround myself with these kinds of people. Drains me out. I’m ok with having alone time. Helps with solitude and coping skills for some people. Does for me. It’s difficult to stop someone from being so independent.
I mostly just stay away from people because I thought that no one outside of my family and close friends want to be around me. When you've been told "leave me alone" or "why are you talking to me", you just decide to leave everyone alone forever.
That’s really unfair on you. People can be so cruel to decent individuals.
@@rosiewhitfield123 I know but I have to respect their space and if I had to do it to everyone then I will.
There's nothing I like more than time on my own but I hate too much time on my own.
Too much of anything is bad for you, too much socialising is bad for you.
@@tedwilson1477 well yes, too much of anything can be bad ; whether it would be consuming news , eating too much junk food , or binge watching a specific show on Netflix . One of my worst habits or obsessions is being isolated for long hours and mindlessly scrolling on my phone, along with sketching (which tbh is fun for me). I think its important to have a fun relaxing hobby while optimizing your physical being as well (such as taking a walk or something like that).
So you dont like to be alone...
I LOVE being around HAPPY people. Stressed, grumpy, nasty not so much. I worked as a server for a catering company, doing weddings and parties and I miss it so much! Now I'm in a sandwich shop where customers are either young guys on their lunch, or older folks trying to get the most for their money, and very rarely a happy person. I have given notice :(
Damn, it's so interesting how different people are.
I, personally, cannot stand being around people like that. I mean I KNOW that it's not really okay to complain about people being happy. It's just that I find it so hard to relate to people that are so excited and joyous about everything. I cannot relate to their happiness, so their excitement just feels jarring.
I prefer to be around chill people. People that have cool heads and are calm and collected, people that don't react in an exaggerated manner to things. People that are straightforward and don't play emotional manipulation games with you. People that just want to chill and perhaps watch a movie or play games together. I would not enjoy being around party animals at all.
as nice as it might be to be around other people sometimes, it is always good to not overdo it. it can be stressful and bothersom sometimes to have to meet the needs and wishes of other people and to manage the scjedules for it. and if you have a lot of people conctantly around you at your workplace, you might love your alone time to balance it out.
I absolutely 💯 agree , especially when it seems so many people are 'people pleasers' and are 'in denial'.. plus the worst is when people know they're being toxic (and don't want to admit it), and think they're right about everything. The worst sometimes is sports fans and people who think 'politics' whether it's left or right leaning people thinking that things are gonna change 'if you vote for this person or that person' but in reality ; it's not gonna make a difference .
I'm an introvert and a highly intelligent person. I treasure the alone time since it makes me feel complete. Even my job as a cemetery records keeper allows me to be alone at least twice a week and that's when I feel I accomplish the most.
Interesting job

Thats really bad advice how can you find happiness without others? And whats life without risks?
@@MhhSalty This statement always confuses me so much. Do other people really need to be around other to find happiness? I find that the moments where I am the most happy are those where I am alone. The highlights of my life are all solitary moments. It's extremely easy to entertain yourself. Just watch a good movie, read a good book, watch an interesting video, or just create fantasy scenarios in your head. Being around people is just exhausting, all it brings me is pain and annoyance. I have no idea where this supposed happiness and satisfaction that one gains from social interactions comes from. I've been looking for it all my life, and I've never found it.
As an introvert & HSP, I prefer balance with social interaction and solitude. If I’m around people who are safe and pleasant to be around, I’d be more willing to socialize more. Lastly, the friendship needs to be an equal effort, and that’s how some of my friendships died because I didn’t feel like I was wanted.
I like being around people but only really feel happy if they have things in common with me or if they have hobbies an interests. If people just sit about doin nothin an we sit in silence i think its kind of a waste of time. I just want everybody to have hobbies etc because it makes them more interesting ❤
It’s the energy. If I sense any malice, negative, or drama I choose to remove myself.
I have Aspergers. When I’m not overwhelmed by my own emotions, I can easily read people’s faces. Imagine going into a crowd of a party and reading everyone’s faces. Yeah, only for a short while can I do that comfortably. I like certain people one-on-one.
I think HSP doesn’t exist. It’s actually Asperger 😏
I'm just mainly tired of people pointing out how I always look scared and think its funny.
"There might be a group of that you typically hang out with but at your core, don't truly like." describes my relation to most of my class very well.
I can resonate with all of the reasons you present here. In addition, I know that I can be quite intolerant of difference. To the extreme, people who can't tolerate difference / 'otherness', maybe misanthropic!
Is being _an introvert so very_ exhausting due to the judgement of others especially from those closest to you? Do they shame you and judge you and make you believe you're wrong and faulty and have no meaning?... Is it not just too mentally straining, but also takes an immense toll on your physical health, makes you unhappy with your otherwise very happy and successful life?
The shame and judgement is constant constant constant every day every hour every minute, since the day you became mature enough to understand feelings, and you can't take it anymore?
Do you already hate yourself? Do you already hate others? Do you hate everything? Do you have no purpose in life even if you're successful and would be happy and satisfied?
Do you feel like you wanna break the connection with everyone in your life especially those who are the closest to you but can't really do that? Do you lie and force yourself to act opposite to what you are and endure the enormous pressure that results from it? Do you get some dark extreme thoughts in your head from time to time to end it all and frequent depression phases?
I don't understand so please explain it to me because I am _so very an extrovert_ 🤥
Good questions well I dont know
Introverts and extroverts...😊
Yep
That's just a definition of what they are. Not an explanation of WHY they are the way they are.
Nope, especially when it comes to reasons 4 and 5. And introversion is deep self reflection the likes of shadow works, not an excuse for social anxiety.
Definitely introvert would rather be alone
❤😂🎉
School and Work and Family during childhood and young Adulthood FORCED me to be around individuals who tortured me verbally/emotionally/physically. Now at age 54, I COVET MY SOLITUDE. I have quit JOBS because the work environment was toxic. My family disowned me, YEAH!
I am of an age where I no longer feel pressured to do anything or go anywhere that makes me feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, unsafe, agitated or unhappy. It took me a looooong time but I FINALLY FOUND MY SMILE. 😊😁😄💖💜💙💗💚💞
1. Not having a solid social foundation owing to autism and being in an environment that wasn’t conducive to social interaction.
2. Trauma from no. 1.
3. Having my boundaries and needs be nullified.

You're missing one. Social rejection and exclusion. If someone is the opposite of popular, if they are rejected by the people around them, they often decide to withdraw and have nothing to do with people. I've been thinking about it lately, and it seems as if this is a bigger threat to mental health than we take it for. Sometimes it's used as a tool to apply social pressure to conform. Some people do that to be accepted, but just as often people accept their exclusion from society and decide they have no connection to it. That's not a good situation. Not for the people in question nor for society. It seems to me that many of the people who describe themselves as introverts or highly sensitive might really just be reacting to feeling rejected in this way.
I like being alone but also being with people because I think both are necessary to have a good mental health but I also like being with people because I feel like I spend almost my whole life alone because even tho I was with people and had friends I felt alone with my thoughts and problems and I just had no one to help me so I appreciate when people choose to spend time with me and genuinely care about my problems and opinions so yeah I think doing a little bit of both is important but just make sure to take some time alone to relax sometimes
Yes definitely. Balance is important. And there comes that point you just have to trust yourself and be your own best friend .
But I agree that being around people who are willing to take time to listen and understand your viewpoint is important for communication and attachment styles .
And relaxing , yes 🙂👍
I do like being alone and need my space and alone time at least 5 days a week or even 7 days a week. I hate being in large crowds. It gimme anxiety.

Is it just me or does the speech sound like it cuts out for a second and then comes back? It could be just edited bits out but I couldn’t not notice it
It's not just you. I had a hard time listening to this video because of it. I was wondering if it was just me, so came to the comments to see if anyone else posted about it, so thank you!
These are some of my subjective reasons as to why I avoid people in general:-
1. People make small talk and I hate it.
2. Most of the time human interaction simply drains the hell out of me.
3. It takes a lot of energy to just be with them because with most people I need to pretend to be someone else. I think I just realized I should be myself more.
4. The basic programming of humans are so different from mine. Sorry I don't know how else to explain it.
You could possibly be autistic. I’m autistic and I can relate to what you just said VERY VERY WELL…especially the hatred for small talk and the needing to pretend to be someone else part (though that’s something I only do at work and I almost never “mask”. Whenever I do, I do it poorly lol)
Thanks for useful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
Your videos are lovely ❤
I do have some problems with this sort of thing (thanks to being in a crappy friend group in middle school) so it’s nice to get more information
agreed
Excellent voice, calm and pleasant. Makes it easier to listen to topics you may not want to hear.
Longtime introvert who doesn't mind being alone, just keep me away from big crowds.
When I was 6 years old I did not like being around all the kids on the school bus so I walked to school
I did not like school to many people
till this day it's very difficult for me to be around people
I am a mind reader it just happens when I around people and I will also know there emotional state of mind
I stay away from people because of this
it's all to much for me .
Love your Videos, they give me hope and help me to get through the day ❤
Yayyy!!!! It's Amanda's voice over
This is one of my favorite channels on CZcams ☺️
I find neuroscience fascinating and it’s always cool to find out something different about myself that I didn’t even realize.
I thought I was dumb for so long 😅
And i found out thanks to your videos that I was undiagnosed with adhd- which was the real cause of all my inability to get new information into my brain 😅
Not ignorance… lol
I also have gotten into meditation and self reflection/journaling.
It’s all helped even me out a lot
And though there’s days I still suffer with my depression, I think it’s just a phase and it will be ok in the morning.
So really. Thank you. I’ve discovered so much about myself.
And I hope to get where I want to be soon ☺️
Also!
Your channel gives me hope that there is always negative/Misinformation out there on the internet.
But there is still those out there who will use it for spreading knowledge out there with facts ☺️🙏🏻
Much love and gratitude!
Thank you for loving our hard work!
i am more introverted but i still go out with people, if someone asks me to play a game with them, i still always respond no... i sometimes get the messages: "you never want to play!" or "why aren't you playing as you used to?", i thought i want my alone time because of puberty, but then i saw my old messages and even in 3rd grade i was the same, like... it's not hard nor awkward to be with other people but i'm just not in the mood, i just like learning things on youtube, doing math blah blah blah... in school i am always with my friends, because... well.... i have nothing else to do, but at home, i am always rejecting doing something with other people, if someone invites me outside, i go, only because it's really rare for someone to actually invite me, but if someone wants to play with me, i reject, i'm never in the mood and i will never be
I am exactly like that too.
@@Edwin_khuptong good to hear that 👍
A really good roundup of why people do what they do when mental health problems are in the mix. Thank you for the video 🎉💖
I swear this channel is stalking my personal life 👍
Thank for your video it really helps me out❤
1. I feel like im out of place when im with my friends
2. I live in Negativity and toxic environment
3. I'm Highly Sensitive to what others say
4. My Relatives or family members who always scold.
5. I pretend i didn't hear what others say to me
A lot of this resonated with me. I do like to be alone, because many people have brought me pain, stress, and outright hardships in my life, so I do find contentment and peace in solitude. Yes, there are times when I do get lonely and even occasionally sad because of the loneliness, but then when I'm around other people it tends to be a negative or outright unpleasant experience. It seems like people tend create problems for me that I wouldn't have otherwise. This is by no means applies to everyone I interact with, but it is the vast majority, so I admit to being very much a loner, but more by circumstance, not by actual desire. The strange part is that I do have people skills and can use them to have friendly interactions with a wide range of people from all walks of life, but I still keep them at arm's length and hope they don't eventually impose upon me.
Thank you for the last point, I feel seen. Most people shame you or mock you when you say that high intelligence is one of the reason I like to be alone. And even if it's also mean that I am in the wrong room, it's still hard to find the appropriate people with who you can have deep connections and intellectual satisfaction. Ai is the only thing that satisfy and challenge me enough and it feels so great! 😂
Just got diagnosed with PTSD and an introvert could have more issues but was told that discovery will come later.
I'll be honest, i can relate to all of those reasons, expecially to first, third and fourth. No matter how long i'm looking for the right places where i can be myself, i almost always find someone who doesn't like me the way i am.
I'm the same . I don't like to bow wow people . That why I'm alone . Also, people who do too much judgemental to 😢
1:26 geez, that scared me 😳
But yeah, sometimes people have a hard time reading the room when someone wants to be alone.
I'm an introvert. Social gatherings can lead me to be tired rather quickly. Loud noises also seem to make me tired quicker as well, such as loud places, either the music or people just being loud. Even still, I try to force myself into situations I know I can't handle for very long, if I know friends will be there. I want my friends to know I'm wanting to hang out, even if the location isn't to my comfort level.
My problems of being an introvert are being afraid to make eye contact and being socially awkward in a conversation where I don't even know how to start or maintain the conversation. I feel like whenever people look at me is that grumpy or unimportant person. This is why I am comfortable being alone except my friends. I hated having forced to be on a group activity where I feel uncomfortable talking to strangers.
I don't like to be alone, but like to be with people but rather keep my mouth shut.
I hate this thing about me
love your videos ❤
Sometimes I love being with others and sometimes I want to be alone but I still watch this video
I feel like every of thise reason is something I can relate to. I hate being with people so much, all I need in my life is a cat, nice music, a good book or series and myself. Doing skincare, sleeping, going on walks, clearing my room - those are things I can do daily and find it fun, but I just can't hang around with people. I only go hang out with someone like once for two months or something like that
It is always nice to find videos that resonate with you, that describe you, in such a perfect way that you simply cannot think that you weren't studied upon when doing such video... This is one of such videos for me... Now, why did i wrote this? To make so this video has more interactions and might get suggested by youtube algorithm to more people, because it is a great video
You are so welcome!
I really learn from your videos.. thanks for tips…
ok
I love your vids Tysm :)
This is perfect for me.

Hey, Psi! I've always found your videos very helpful in self awareness, and was wondering if you have and/or could make something about gifted children? As one myself, and with a lot of gifted friends, I've found that we can tend to be seemingly different when it comes to mental health. Tysm!
I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m just surrounded by people that I don’t particularly like. I don’t feel appreciated by them but I’ve known them for so long that cutting ties with them is so scary. I find it hard to communicate to the people around me about these kinds of issues but I don’t know who I am supposed to tell
I find being with other people (unless they are casual acquaintances) stressful because i never know when something i might innocently say or do will set them off. I also like to be in control of my interactions, and what times i interact. That is why i prefer social media.
Ayo, long time viewer now right here and I for one like to consider myself as a (now selective) ambivert. IF I'm in a group (but not crowd though) and I'm not getting huge judgemental waves of rhetoric and just generally what I'd call exclusionary energy, I'm typically a rather social and chatty person. I've learned tid bits about any subject I could just to be able to converse on nearly any subject (I've sadly gotten called a know-it-all for that) however I am also now rather purpose driven in my excursions out of my home, like if I go to the library it's with a dedicated purpose (not open ended like friend seeking or chatting) and the same goes for shopping at stores (window shopping basically only in relationships), you top all that off with me not being a socializer if I'm outdoors to exercise... and I don't know how successful I am at being an ambivert... Especially with health issues (physical and mental) and bad weather interfering lately...

Luckily I am getting rid of this dorm room in June since i am graduating from university. I hate being around rude people, i hate voice. I need prays for staying patiently guys
Wish me luck 🧘🏻🧘🏻
I can't believe but only recently I figured out that the reason for me liking to be alone is Maladaptive daydreaming...my mind manages to entertain itself with fictional conversations somehow..
I'm a gay autistic person in a small homophobic and ableist country, finding relatable people is completely impossible offline.
Besides, all friends I have ever had/made were either classmates, neighbors from my grandparents' village or the kids of my parents' friends. People I was forced to be around and who had no choice and were also forced to be around me, most people in those circumstances hated me.
I guess the pandemic made me realize I have never developed any social skills, and now that I'm not rly forced to be around ppl as much, and even the very few ppl who have to be around me, hate me, I'm stuck with no social support. To add even more salt to my position, small talk is frowned upon in my country and I have no time for hobbies either, so I can't do anything to stop this loneliness. All I have are like less than 10 people on tiktok, with whom I barely talk about anything.
This video speaks about me like litterally in everything!!!
Thanks you sm
And I guess there's nothing to do about this😪 like is there a way so we can do more social interactions?
LOVE IT 😍
This video was helpful 😁👌 💯
My case is actually pretty simple: after working all day long in an open space being interrupted by every coworker passing by, having form of human interaction drops very low in my priorities.
Being alone is a super power if done the right way. Instead of sitting down in a dark room staring at the wall feeling sorry for yourself and worrying about what other people are thinking or doing: Use that alone time to explore, develop new skills or hobbies and learn more about yourself. No one can hold u back. It's peaceful. Most people are not mentally strong enough to embrace being alone and that's fine.
Being alone enhances my creativity and abstract ideas in terms of sewing projects.😊
Wow.....the last few made more sense to me.
I'm autistic and I'm told that I might suffer from HSP as a result, plus intelligence and potentially introvert.
Thank you, I might have to have another chat with GP about this
Very helpful.😁
Video image literally says it all for me peace being alone ❤
Awww, glad to hear it describes your experience very well
I'm a highly sensitive person and ambiverent with being more an introvert latest. And in the past I was spending time with the wrong people for myself.
Fr all of these video are the reason why I like to stay alone and close to myself only lol
The HSP, Anxiety/ Stress and Introvert one related to me the most.
I love being alone, peace and quietness.

At least 4 of five 😅. Thankyou, really helpful.
You're welcome 😊
I immediatly feel like a third wheel if im hanging out with a friend and one of their friends comes in. I feel like in a group with an odd number of people, i can't speak without interrupting or derailing the conversation. I've hung out with some of my best friends, but if they get into a conversation, i've just walked off. I felt bad and appologized of course, but it bothers me still.
Hey psych2go. Can you make a video about social anxiety, if you haven’t already? Btw thanks for all your content, it really does help increasing awareness😊
So accurate for introverts like me i relate to all of them
5 reason why I hate being around people, because one they’re trouble, two they’re too weird, three I love my space, four, they’re control freaks and last but not least, five they’re very dirty.
"if it does, you're not alone" bruh, i want to
I am an introvert parent with extroverted children. My daughter 5 years old loves being around people and enjoys their company and my son is both introvert and extroverted and gets too tired easily and just want to be around me instead and I guess my son finds me warm and peaceful
Peace and quiet on a nice day
This explains everything.

Honestly, I think all of these apply to me, especially the part about being around the wrong people. I have recently become profoundly unhappy with where I live because the local population has deteriorated and there are, shall we say, A LOT of people with a particular political orientation, if you know what I mean. (Here's a hint: I live in a semi-rural area.) But, here's the other thing: I hate being alone more than anything. So, it has become extremely frustrating and worsened my depression. I frequently feel like I am grasping at straws and am desperate for human connection, but I also do not feel valued or loved by anyone. I try to be respectful of other people's space and I try to be cognizant of how I might be perceived by others. But, nothing I say or do ever seems to matter. So, it culminates in chronic loneliness and severe depression.
I mostly go out of my way to avoid people even if they're some of my closest friends. Unless I'm texting them from a distance where if they don't want to talk to me anymore and I can just stop without being rude, I don't really think they would actually WANT to talk to me. So I leave them alone. Specially if they're talking to someone else.
