Isolation, rejection, falling in silence, shutting down my door to the outside world in real life or online is a constant struggle inside me.

Too true, nightdream, it's a seductive strategy at first (feels like less pain) but in the long term it sucks.

I think it's OK to be on your own sometimes, but if it feels like a struggle then it's bad vibes. Deep down, we just want to feel OK, that's OK on our own and OK with people. I guess that's what it is to be healthy.

Maybe we can have some alone time, but keep the door open as well; it sounds like that's what you're aiming for anyway.

Cheers, Myzen.
