I just realized the only time I've ever made any progress with my behavioural/identity/self-esteem issues is when I cut off contact with almost everyone in my life. I talked to my Dad and people at work but, other than that, it was very minimal contact. I found I was really coming into myself. It was when I started reintroducing relationships and sharing feelings with others that I crumbled ten times harder than before. It almost makes me wonder if I'd be happier on my own with just my family. Any thoughts or similar experiences? 

I need to add that this isn't a negative post. I was truly happy when I was alone. For the first time ever. I appreciate any feedback! :) hope you're all well.
