I do, quite a lot, however I don’t really fully at ease even alone. So I can understand knowing they’re good people who mean well but still being avoidant of them.

When my depression is getting bad again, yes.

This is me everyday for my whole life. It’s why I don’t have any friends 😃

Yes, I very often go no-contact with my friends for weeks at a time. Not usually out of depression it's just my personality and how I destress. Nothing to feel bad about and the real friends usually catch on well enough and don't hold it against me.

I did this and in the beginning of the two days, my housemate who were supposed to be family blamed me and was not there to even ask what’s wrong because I only do this when I’m going through it. They claimed they couldn’t come to me because I would have my AirPods in while cooking and I could have to come to them. And know I have released people who are there when your struggling are your true friends. You truly learn who is your friends when your going through it…

Definitely. When I catch myself starting to do it, I've found transparency to be helpful with close friends-- simply telling them what's going on and assuring them it's nothing they did, and that hopefully I can work on improving the symptom. Over time we've developed keywords (like "hermiting") that lets the other person know without having to communicate every detail.
