Does Anyone Out There Push Others Away ?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I find it easier to be alone in my own company as it seems easier to put up with myself, and that is bad enough, but other people on top of me i find so hard. I know it's selfish but i also have OCD and the more stress i get the more intense that becomes.

I know what you mean, I am always waiting for things to be over, so I can be on my own again, even when I'm enjoying myself, I want it to be finished. I don't make friends even when I like people, I just can't commit to a friendship, I prefer to be on my own

Yeah that's exactly it .. knowing that it will come to an end somepoint anyway so end up pushing people further away .. i can't hold down any relationships really .. it is a real struggle.
But one i find hard to explain to them.
It's the sudden panick comes over me .. a dread ..darkness .. at least if i shut myself away i'm no hurting anyone else.. thats how i see it anyway .
plus it's hard enough dealing with me not alone anyone else ... selfish i know

i do as well, but the doctors believe I might be autistic so that might explain my lack of ability to socialize as well. I have OCD as well and people can make it worse or usually do i should say

My head becomes full when having to deal with ppl, I can't wait to be home and then I become low. I don't want to see others I'm comfortable and feel safe in my family bubble. Anxiety hits just thinking of socialising then I hat myself bc I don't want to go out and see ppl. If I think I shud catch up with ppl I automatically picture the end so I can be home before I have even left. I push ppl away the best job I did was push my psychologist away after 4 years bc of my anger issues so now I have noone bc I believe if she can leave then others will so there's no point seeing anyone else
