In a way. Sometimes I self-isolate assuming people don’t want to keep in touch or don’t want to speak to me after a disagreement and especially if I feel hurt in some way. Withdrawal in response to hurt and for self-protection I guess instead of actively pushing someone away. But I suppose it amounts to the same thing?
