Sometimes we don’t feel like engaging with people even the ones that mean the most to us because we feel hurt and let down by them . If this is a phase, it is perfectly alright to take a break. Let the feelings pass, rejuvenate yourself and reconnect with them. But if you’ve been feeling pained by others’ behavior towards you for a long time, you should try and delve deeper and understand why this is happening and how you can change the dynamics.
Next Steps
A psychologist can help you through the process of understanding yourself and help you learn to handle toxic/difficult relationships. Consider seeking help from a psychologist. Take care and best wishes!

I understand your predicament and would like to make a few suggestions that might help you. I want you to know that with awareness of how the mind works and how thoughts are generated, you will get better at dealing with them. Today, the mind is fixated on something. Tomorrow it could be obsessed about another person/event/topic. Understanding the nature of the mind and how thoughts are generated will help you deal with them. The nature of the Mind, which in simple terms we experience as thoughts, is such that, it will keep shifting its focus from one object/topic/event to another. Ii always needs something to hold on to. Another important characteristic of the Mind is this - You will either have thoughts about the past or the future. This will keep alternating. Try thinking about the present moment - you will see that the Mind and 'Now' can never coexist. The Mind has 3 states in general. Sometimes, you may find yourself having very positive, inspiring thoughts. During other times, you may find yourself very emotional, or all charged for action. Whereas during other times, you may feel very lethargic, dull or lazy. These states will keep alternating. Having understood the nature of the mind, the first step towards mental health is to become aware of your thoughts. Learning to be an observer of your thoughts, learning to observe them from a distance like clouds passing in the sky. The next step is knowing that you have the power to choose which thought you wish to focus on and act on and exercising that power. With practice, you will have better mastery over this process. Having negative thoughts is something that plagues everybody from time to time. Trust me, even if everything was perfect, you will still find some shortcomings somewhere and brood about it. Tension or anxiety is a physiological response which is again part of being human. It is normal to have such thoughts about any situation. As mentioned above, with practice, you will learn to focus and entertain only those thoughts are healthy enough to be acted upon. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, just bring your focus back to your breath and take a few relaxing breaths. You will automatically be able to focus on the task at hand and do what is required. Whatever you feed your mind through your sense organs will be replayed to you as thoughts. Be conscious of this. Take care of the content you feed your mind - the kind of books you read, the websites you visit, the kind of music you listen to, the kind of food you eat, the kind of company you keep ( "You are an average of five people you spend most of your time with" ) Ask yourself : Where would I like to see myself ten years from now? What should I do today to reach there ten years from now? What would I do if I knew I wouldn't fail? What would I do if I weren't afraid? No matter how impossible the answers might seem, I want you to know that you can and will make them possible. Take the first step. The rest will follow. A beautiful future awaits you. Take ownership of every time, take responsibility for it and confidently work towards your dreams and aspirations. One day you will thank these dark moments for being the fuel for your success. Exercise daily and make sure you eat healthy. Have faith in yourself. You are capable of dealing with this. You are going to do just fine. Take care.

Hello Practo user Not wanting to engage with people, loved ones or otherwise, can be quite a common experience with all of us sometimes, especially keeping the current scenario in mind. It is perfectly fine to care for one's mental peace and take steps for it. However, if the irritationand detachment from social interactions has been going on for quite some time now and has been troubling you a lot more than usual, you could contact a clinical psychologist to help you ease your worries. Sometimes, one doesn't feel like engaging with people when we ourselves are troubled or something is bothering us, but we cannot really point, what is it. It also happens when we have identified what is troubling us deeply but can't think of something to do about it.
Next Steps
Talk to a clinical psychologist to understand your behaviour
Health Tips
