Because you don’t want your bad times to define you and your interactions. https://twitter.com/tosinolaseinde/status/1310647293029253123">https://twitter.com/tosinolas...

A lot of times you withdraw because you don’t want pity. You don’t want people to see you at your lowest because there will be some who will abuse your vulnerability, not because they’re bad people but because sometimes humans can’t help themselves.

Sometimes you withdraw because you need space to understand what’s really going on with you. And you can’t fake smiles because the people who really know you know when you’re hiding something.

You withdraw because you feel so much shame and guilt at your lowest points and nobody wants to be seen that way.
