I want to forget my past life and also currently I don't have much interest in anything. So I don't feel like talking to anyone and share about how I feel. Is it OK to stay away from outside world for few days or months?? And is it OK to avoid old friends to forget about my past???
Days yes. Months no.
It's okay to take a break from stressfull things after trauma or during major life transitions. However, you should have someone you can reach out to.
It's not terribly unusual. Friends and family might be a bit worried, but reassure them that you're not thinking suicide or anything. I mean, you aren't, are you?
Often it's better to talk about what's hurting you though. Even if you think it can only hurt more, often it helps you to figure out how to fix it. It's probably a completely different story but from personal experience, I know that talking about these issues really helps. In my case, I had some serious depression, but until I actually talked about it I couldn't figure out why. It was because I was isolating myself from friends, but I didn't know why until I talked more about that. I then pieced together that I had some serious social anxiety issues because I'm always stressing out over wondering if I sound normal, because I worry about the fact that I'm diagnosed autistic. I'm actually fixing all those issues, though if I had remained silent like I wanted to I'd still be a depressive kid who insisted on isolation.
I'm certain your story is different. But I've talked to many people who all say similar things; a ton of people just never talk about what's upsetting them so they never figure out how to fix it.
Feel free to talk to me about anything. If you'd rather write a private message, we can do that if you use Reddit or something.
I am absolutely fine and I don't have any idea about suicide and all because I think I dont have that much guts. Thanks for your advice. Actually I feel like I want to be alone and I like that only I guess. And from what I have experienced friends are of no use in my case. They dont care about how I feel. I think I blindly trusted my friends and I was always ready to listen to them without knowing that they dont mind about my feelings. I did wrong in making friends. This is what I have realized recently.
I know how that feels. I really do. That's one of the reasons I was so self conscious about what I say.
You need new friends. If someone doesn't really care about how you feel, they're not a friend, they're just someone you hang out with.
I do understand that you would like to be alone for a while. That's OK. I think you need to find new people to talk to when you come back though.
Good luck.
