I keep trying to google it and I come up with nothing. What is self-isolating behavior a symptom of? Depression? Lack of ability to connect with others? Fear of the world? OCD? ADHD? What?

I'm kind of at a loss to try and understand this even though I do try.

Why do people self-isolate and is it a symptom of a larger disorder? This is my question.
