Is it normal that i stopped talking to everyone in my life?

Hang in there, friend!

Ha, I did the same thing after I attempted suicide. Enjoy the next few months in isolation until you realize just how much it sucks to be alone all the time!

I feel the same at times. Like I don't belong. Most people are fake because they are insecure about themselves and are desperate to fit in. Stay true to who you are. You'll find people out there trust me. Try talking to people that you had a connection with. This break I've been hanging out with random old friends and it's been really nice. Try not to look at the world negatively. There are good things in life. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. The teen years are the most brutal. Everyone is practically fake. I'm sick of highschool and can't wait to graduate. Surround yourself with people who love you for who you are. If you don't think that's true then don't give up. Get a new job and make friends there. Hope this helps.

Seems you felt you were living a lie and need to find yourself and prioritize what is important to you. I too have felt like starting a whole new life in a new place with new people at times, it is normal and you will get through this. Just try to make yourself happy and depend only on yourself then all else will fall in place and you will attract the right people. Life will fall into place if you can make yourself happy. I'm still working on that myself so don't worry.

I understand what you're going through in a sense.

The older I get the more it seems that I distance myself from others.
I don't like people, they scare me. I avoid them, but I know it will start to really effect me. I'm suppose to go to Canada and college, but I'm starting to doubt that I'll even be able to do that.

Almost everyone's family sucks. I feel like mine has never truly been there for me.... I want to permanently leave them, never come back. To further prevent them from finding me, I know I'll have to get restraining orders. At this point I feel like almost everyone's fake. I feel like even how they express themselves is fake.... In a sense, I get where you're coming from.....

And my girlfriend, thats another story. We were together for 3 years. I was always good to her. Every birthday and every year for christmas i bought her expensive gifts, thousand dollar shoes, gucci purses, and other things. I never let her pay for a thing, we would go to nice dinners all the time, take little trips, go on vacations etc.. After a month of me not doing so good she starts compaining, saying we are moving backwards, and basiclly making me feel like shit while im already feeling down. Every day she would complain about why we dont go out, and i would tell her times are bad right now i dont have money to go out, and that things will get better. All she kept doing is complaining. It got so bad that i didnt want to talk to her anymore because every conversation we had would stress me out and then came the complaining on how we dont talk. She said she loved me but after years of being good to her it took one bad month for her to forget all the good times and complain non stop. I finally told her we cant be together and im not in a position to be in a relationship. She made no effort to try to be together, or tell me that its okay. She made no effort to stick by me in this hard time and the fucked up thing is i really loved her and would have stayed with her through any rough times she had. I guess her love was fake. And thats that

First of all, the phone is not the issue here. You dont understand my situation and i dont expectt you to. You are right, I did distance my self from everyone. The reason why i stopped contact with my family is because someones family shouldnt kick them when they are down. My family knows i have been going through a rough time. I had a good job and was making good money but it didnt work out. My family should be there for me and help me get through it but instead they make things worse and on top of it they talk down about me to other people. I feel betrayed by them. As for friends, there is no real friends. When i had money and my own place I had so many "friends" around. When times got hard everyone disappeared. People only come around if i have something to offer, if they can benefit out of it. They way i felt about my so called friends was completely different. If my friends had no money or nothing to offer i would still accept them and hang out just for their company. That wasnt the case with me. In my eyes there is no such thing as true friends. What do you call people that are around when times are good but disapear when things get bad. Not friends

I believe you have unreal expectations about people and you dont quite get how their heads tick, so you dont see them as equals, with similar problems, hopes, regrets, fears and emotions...thats were the mistrust and avoidance is born ... But people have their own lifes and thoughs too, and not everybody is gonna be able to understand you and be empathic, loyal,authentic, supportive, and nice all at the same time 24/7

In my opinion,is not healthy being totally trustfull around everyone and neither it is to live in complete isolation not trusting anyone. You gotta find some balance between those two extremist choices. Ask yourself this: is all people fake all the time? or maybe you cant read them? maybe both? maybe neither? the world is never black and white, there is not a single solution that solves everything, and thats scary and unconfortable...but we cant live in fear all our lives, just hidden from everyobody, not trusting anybody...

I think, the best way to avoid being dissapointed about people is understanding that nobody is perfect, and nobody owns you anything. You need to learn to be satisfied with yourself, and build a strong sense of selfesteem, and self value...THEN you will be able to be true to who you really are, and understand who is good for you and who is not. You gotta understand that everyone have their own path, and while some people will be able to accompany you in your path for a while, they also have their own paths...Turmoil and insecurities lives in all of us but its key for our health of mind, to be able to see past them, for a better understandment.

I have written probably ten typed pages to you and deleted it all to avoid sounding too enthusiastic about the truth of what you're experiencing. If I died tonight and I only had two words to say... I would say this, to you. right fucking now. and i would cry and mean it: Please, Please, god... please learn everything you can based on the two following words:

Iceberg Slim.

Reading this story and these comments makes me feel better about myself.

its a sign of depression

That's really sad.. :( I'm actually thinking about doing the same thing as you.. and that's also sad. Hang in there..

Stop complaining. Sure, you might not want to communicate with them, that doesn't mean they don't care.
You're making excuses to not be around people.

But, I am in a sense, the same. I don't like interactions and I prefer to live my life closed off from everyone else. The only time I interact with people is when I'm called for in my house by family members and when I'm in college.

"You" ran away from them, not the otherway around. It sounds to me like you're the one neglecting them. Don't blame others for what you've done.

Also. Why have a phone if you aren't going to use it? Pointless in my opinion.
