Feeling Overwhelmed: Wanting to be Alone but Also Needing Someone to Talk To

100% relate, message me anytime ❤️❤️

I feel this. I feel this a lot today.

As a extrovert I am intrigued by this discussion. I knew someone like that. I think they had social anxiety and avoidant personality disorder. So now I'm curious that perhaps lots of people feel that way and maybe I'm just bugging the crap out of them. 🤔😬😄 But also I would hope I could look at people's body language and respect it if they prefer to be alone. I hope. I think it might also be common for people with depression to feel that way. Please disregard these ramblings if you like. I'm an out loud processor.

yes! i got lucky and am able to have my partner in the room or near me without talking or touching. finding someone that can reasonably help and cope with your issues is the first step!

Yes that’s completely me

Can we talk?

Always!

All the time. I wanna vibe with people but don't wanna be talked to. Let me talk first, then u may speak

All the time. Whenever it happens I try to reach out to friends or family and they usually force me into a hug or to hang out and I end up feeling much better. Forcing urself out of ur comfort zone is sometimes the best thing to do when u wanna be alone

Yes very much 😂 that explains it perfectly. Quite the dichotomy
