Reclusion

How do you get out of it?

Re: Reclusion

somebody gotta pull you out of it........or it just happens...

Re: Reclusion

I go out almost everyday but I just don't wanna have any acquaintances. My husband tries his hard to take me to social gatherings but I'm just too much in comfort when alone or where I don't have to interact with people, specially the ones I'm already familiar with.

Re: Reclusion

Go out and get a life :D lols. J/K.

It really depends on what has caused you to become a recluse. If its inborn then you will need the support of your family/friends to make you comfortable around people. For some people it comes with age and experiences. If it has triggered from an event/situation, then you might want to look into the psychatric details to rectify it.

hmmm....well I was always throwing parties and stuff but couldn't do that for few years coz of having kids and now when my kids are old enough and need friends I don't bother socializing and making contacts.

Re: Reclusion

I have no idea, but I am exactly the same way :(, sadly it has only gotten worse with age.

I guess sometimes you have to push yourself to get out there and make friends! That is what I have to do anyways.

Re: Reclusion

Oh so basically you are use to of your lifestyle now and don't want to change but you wl have to for your kids. Also, nowadays its very imp to be social in order to have a "normal" life.

Re: Reclusion

Try to find out activities that may be destroying your motivation to socialize. For example, you are clearly spending a lot of time on this forum ( :) ) and this may seem a normal activity to you (as a lot of people spend time here) but it may be causing you to lose interest in real life social activities.

Reducing the time spent on internet may help you a lot.

Same is the case with TV.

Re: Reclusion

no it's not this forum or even the internet...I was addicted to internet but not anymore. I think I'm just not used of people anymore as Zareen pointed out.
