i don't want to be around people
I don't enjoy being around people for various reasons, some of which include social anxiety disorder, stress, trauma, depression, and personality traits such as shyness and insecurity. My need to recharge longer before socializing more can also contribute to my reluctance to be around others. Additionally, the past traumas I have experienced have left lingering negative effects and created a belief in me that I have no desire to be around anyone, making it difficult for me to form new relationships. My past negative experiences can also affect my ability to trust others and form meaningful connections with them. Lastly, my high sensitivity to stimuli can make social situations overwhelming for me, leading me to seek space for myself and recharge.
Social anxiety disorder is a mental health condition that makes engaging in social activities and being around people feel exhausting and anxiety-inducing. I may constantly worry about being judged or misunderstood by others. This fear can lead to avoidance behavior and a reluctance to engage in social interactions, further exacerbating my aversion to socializing.
My need to recharge longer before socializing more can be attributed to mental and emotional exhaustion from overstimulation when socializing and social events can be demanding. I may feel overwhelmed by the constant pressure to be in social situations and may prioritize my own self-care by spending time alone.
Past traumas have shaped my perceptions of other social situations and can make me hesitant to engage in new social connections. I may struggle to form meaningful relationships with others, feeling like I don't have anyone to turn to and lacking the ability to connect with others on a deeper level.
Highly sensitive persons, or HSPs, are often more sensitive to emotional, physical, and social cues. Social events with large crowds can be overwhelming for me, and I may have to take breaks from being around others to recharge my sensitive mind. I may also crave solitude and be overwhelmed by the constant stimulation that social interactions can provide.
Setting boundaries with people is hard for me, as I want to help but also worry that I might hurt people's feelings. Lack of boundaries can lead to emotional and physical fatigue, and I may have to set limits on the amount of time and energy I invest in certain people. Additionally, striving to make everyone happy can be overwhelming, and prioritizing my own needs and happiness can help me feel more content and less overwhelmed.
I'm not sure why I have such an aversion to being around people, but I'm working towards understanding my own needs and preferences and fostering healthier, more satisfying social connections. I will continue to seek support and work on building meaningful relationships with those who align with my values and interests.
