I am like this to because I push people away. Like others said, it's common in BP. I find I get quickly agitated at people so I just like to be alone. I also have a bad history with "friends" in general. I'm fully aware of the fake people out there so I stick to a very tight circle. Even my right circle barely talks to me. Those that know about my BP understand. Or like my one friend likes to say "get your bipolar ***** out of bed already". She's bipolar too so she knows exactly what I'm really doing when I tell her my excuses. Truth is, I can only take her and everyone else in small doses.
