Internalizing and withdrawing are both symptoms of depression, but they can be symptoms of other things or just personality traits as well. 
For me they both come out in full force the more depressed I get. I have been working on vocalizing how I feel. Although it doesn't always feel it at the time it helps SO much. Just to tell my boyfriend "I'm feeling like this, it might be because of this" not only clarifies to him how I'm feeling so he can help me, but it gives ME a clearer idea of what's going on inside. Sometimes facing the feelings make me feel a thousand times better.
