I know that isolation can be a bp problem, but for me it has always stemmed from social anxiety and low self esteem. Lately, however, I find myself just plain not wanting to talk to people. It doesn't give me a dopamine rush like it normally does. I don't know if I am in a mood episode; I may be mildly depressed.
Can anyone relate? It makes me feel like a bad person, for being unfriendly.

I get like that when depressed...and a lot when I'm baseline too.mim just an introverted person. It's especially hard to socialize in depression. You're definitely not alone in that.

I have a hard time not feeling stressed from social interactions, but I also think being alone makes me "weird" sometimes. When I am a little bit weird, being around people helps pull me out of it.

I never want to talk to anyone either. Especially right now. If RL people would just leave me alone that would be fantastic! (And I'm not depressed or anything, just antisocial at the moment.)

I have my regular depression now and i don't want to talk to anyone. I'm a social butterfly when i'm manic tho. Total opposites. I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to be on your own for a while.

I, too, tend to shut down and isolate when I am depressed. Anxiety fuels this even further to the point where I can't even talk on the phone. I can text and post on FB, but for the life of me I can't get comfortable talking on the phone, especially with my children or other family members. Too many emotional land mines of guilt and expectation, I guess. BUT, I can talk to strangers. No problem. At the grocery store or on the street when walking my dog. Just a one-on-one for a couple of minutes and I feel like I have connected with the outside world on a human level.
