Social withdrawal

Social withdrawal is a pattern where an individual intentionally avoids social interactions and isolating themselves from others. It can occur due to various reasons such as social anxiety, depression, or mental health challenges, leading to feelings of loneliness and disconnection. This behavior might involve avoiding conversations, social gatherings, or even everyday activities that involve others. While some level of solitude can be healthy, persistent withdrawal can negatively impact emotional well-being and relationships. Understanding and addressing underlying causes, often with support from mental health professionals, can help individuals regain social engagement and improve their quality of life.
