Grief has made me antisocial
Grief & Loss / by alee3105

...See more At first it was okay to just put on a brave face and pretend to be normal. It has become so exhausting that I now avoid any optional socializing, specially the friends who know about my loss. They don't understand that I'm still grieving. They give me such odd looks whenever I mention anything that I've stopped sharing. At this point I feel so stupid for even sharing the times I've shown my vulnerable side to them. I can't help but feel hurt and resentment towards them. But I also understand that life moves on and only those who have lost people truly understand these feelings so I shouldn't hold it against my friends. Now I feel like it's better when I'm alone. Yes, it's not healthy to self-isolate but at least I can be at peace. Can anyone relate?
