What should i do when i feel like i don't want to talk to anybody and want to delete all my social accounts?

Answer 1

That is something you should talk to a Dr or other health professional about if you are experiencing other symptoms such as lack of enjoyment out of things you used to enjoy, sleeping issues, appetite increase or decrease or feeling sad alot of the time.

if it feels like a temporary thing, or related to specific people, think about if the relationships are healthy or not. if someone makes you feel bad about yourself, puts you down or manipulates you, you need to end that relationship. Good luck!

First, know that almost everyone feels this from time to time. It isn't abnormal; most often, it will pass in a few days. Second, deleting social media accounts may seem to be your "declaration of silence" that will make others sit up and take notice of your silence. But unfortunately, most often other people are also worried about their own feelings of being invisible, silenced, and powerless. So deleting the accounts ends up just hampering you!

Instead, decide HOW you will spend a day "not talking to anyone". Perhaps you've been wanting to read a good novel. Maybe you like to draw when you feel "silencing" take over your emotions. Maybe you like to walk, jog, run, or bike. Do something that feels "just for ME" and take time to do it.

Remember though, "you don't want to talk to anybody" is just an expression of an emotion. You can still speak--if you choose. You can still interact--if you want to do so. You can say hi to your elderly neighbor, and end up in a conversation about the roses she plants. A guy might notice a stranger has a cool motorcycle and say, "Nice ride!" and end up talking about bikes. In fact, some people say when a person does NOT feel like talking, they should do the exact opposite---TALK to anyone about what interests the other person. Often, it ends up pulling you out of feeling silenced and invisible and maybe might make you feel very needed and worthwhile. Remember, we ALL feel alone at times. YOU may be the one to help someone else who feels silenced and invisible.

I should also say, if you find yourself feeling like you want to withdraw all the time and can't connect to anyone to just say hello, then perhaps you should look into counseling.

But I believe we help ourselves more (and don't need a therapist) when we reach out to others. Look around your school, neighborhood, among your friends, family---who might youmake feel better by taking a few minutes of interest in them. Think of it as an experiment: Pick 3 to 5 people to seek out and start up a conversation. Express interest in what that person is doing. Elderly people, who often feel isolated and alone, often enjoy "teaching" about things they do: from cooking to knitting to planting flowers to laying concrete---there are people all around you doing everyday things who would love if you said hello to them and asked them questions about what they are doing. You might even find a new friend.
