Is it normal to want to isolate yourself?
Depends.It depends
Yes, wanting to be alone sometimes is normal, especially when you’re stressed or worn out. If you’re pulling away for a long time or it’s making life harder, it may be worth talking to someone you trust.
Most people want space now and then. A quiet night, fewer texts, or some time away from other people can be a perfectly ordinary way to recharge.
It’s different if you feel unable to connect, keep withdrawing even when you don’t want to, or isolation is affecting your work, relationships, or daily life. If that’s happening, check in with someone you trust; you don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for support.
