What causes someone to isolate themselves from life and never want to try again?

Answer 1

your answer is simple.... you have no hope! we, being mankind, need hope in all things. to find hope you first must find your faith. The Bible says that we are all given a measure of faith. even the smallest amounts (the size of a Mustard Seed) can move mountains. to find your faith you need to find God!! AnswerRepeated letdowns in life can cause this type of thing. Also if someone has been really hurt by someone else they may retreat from others and life in general for a while. Some people may isolate themselves briefly after being hurt and others may try doing this for long periods of time. They may need counseling to help them through whatever has happened to cause this type of behavior. Depression can cause this type of behavior too. Either way they need support of friends and family and might need some brief counseling and possibly short-term antidepressants to help them work through it. Also faith in God will help pull them through it. I lost a young family member to cancer just recently. She was originally only given three weeks to live. She entered an experimental treatment program and fought for her life for a year. When others around her would get upset over her suffering and illness she would simply say, "God is in control." I learned a great deal from this wonderful young person.

Answer 2

Hello,

Sometimes the pain that a person suffers from losing a loved one through divorce or death just hurts so much that they pull away from society. Why love again when it hurts so much when it ends?

It is especially painful when you try again for say several more times and same ending, PAIN. Why not be alone and not suffer the pain again?

That is my theory from my own experience.

Hope that helps.
