I've been cocooning the last few weeks too. At the moment it's just difficult for me to deal with people. In fact, I'm investigating the possibility that I'm developing agoraphobia. Although I did go to the Easter church service and did pretty well.

Please don't feel judged. I'm not trying to judge you. I'm trying to sort out what you're saying. You don't want to contact people, you don't want to have to volunteer the information that you feel bad, but you want them to ask. You want them to reach out to you, but you've cut off their means to do so. Maybe you figure that those who really do care will make an extra effort to break through your barriers. I've felt this way before. We're not rational when we're overstressed. And certainly if I've misunderstood, set me straight.

I have my own plate kind of full to overflowing at the moment, so it's an effort for me to reach out to someone else. If I haven't been helpful, please forgive me.
