idk if it's instinctual or what, but in being depressed..I always thought I was an introvert, no, instead I just save everyone the pain of listening to my pain and sadness.

the other day my mom said "be nice to me" which made me think a lot, am I not a nice person? is that why I completely isolate and shut down any real life conversations with anyone?

I used to travel a lot but never talk to anyone. I distinctly remember some people within eye and ear shot distance saying, "it must be like prison to be stuck in your head all day"
