Because they are afraid of not being loved or understood. They feel they must fight it alone and that their loved ones may not be able to help.
Because we feel we are letting them down. We are scared of disappointing them. This only fuels our depression even further.
Often its because they dont want to hurt the ones close to them away and could possibly feel like they bring everybody down and may not want that
more often than not its because they cant love themself and so they think that no one else should love them. Also because they may realise they are depressed and it hurts them to think of their loved ones seeing them this way
I think partly they feel that if they let people in they'll be more vulnerable to being hurt. Or they don't want to hurt their loved ones by letting them in and telling them what's wrong.
Sometimes people that are depressed feel guilty about the fact that they are making other people unhappy and they don't want people to feel as bad as they do so they push people away.
It's easy to feel like others around you won't understand when you're in a depressed state. They won't get it so you don't want to bother talking to them about what's going on. Or people may feel like they're a burden on the people they care about, so in order to save them the trouble of dealing with the depressed person they'll push their friends and family away. It's a coping mechanism, albeit not a healthy one.

Depressed people push away loved ones because they don't want to hurt anyone else and get them attached to the depressed person because they then could be some depressed by being around the depressed person so much. So if they push the people away they can't hurt anyone.

Depressed person pushes his/her loved ones away because he/she cannot carry the pressure. He/she does not want to hurt those people because he/she does not want them to be involved with his/her problems.

They feel like their depression is a burden to others, and think that nobody cares or understands what they feel.
They feel like they're only bothering the closest people around them. They think that the people they love are better off without them.

Cause they feel like they're alone all the time and that no one really understands them and when they off load there problems they feel judged
Sometimes when people are depressed they believe that family members won't love them the same, will feel differently about them, not care at all, etc etc... There's honestly too many reasons to name...
Depression causes one to feel extremely negatives towards themselves; anything that matters is pushed aside for a variety of reasons.

I don't think it is ever much of a conscious choice on their part. Someone who is depressed may feel they have nothing to offer others, which may cause them to withdraw from social situations.

It is difficult to talk to someone who is upbeat when a person is depressed. Depending on how depressed they may not even understand why the person can possibly be so happy.

I think it's because they are afraid. Afraid to disappointment their love ones. Afraid to look or sound like a failure. Depressed ones a sacred to hurt others.
People who suffer from depression push everyone away because they are lost inside themselves in a bubble of contempt, rage and sadness. There's no room for others until they get outside that bubble.

They don't feel like they deserve to be loved and don't want to let people know how they feel inside
because, when someone is depressed, he/she don't want much communication. it's really hard for them.
They are afraid to let anyone in and see whats really going on. They don't want to hurt anyone and want to seem like they are staying strong but in reality they are calling for help because they don't know what to do.
because they dont wanna to make them depressed hopeless and negative like them..they are so addicted with their depression and stress that some words of care make them uncomfortable ..

Depressed people tend to push loved ones away because they feel alone. Or they just feel like you don't want them around. The best thing you can do is show them you love them and support them.
Some depressed people push others away because they're afraid of hurting them, or of being found out.
Depressed people push loved ones away because they want to isolate themselves. Sometimes you want to and need to just disappear for a while.
Depression often causes people to think they're not appreciated or that they don't deserve anybody helping them. The truth is the exact opposite and one should never stop trying to make it clear to them.
Sometimes because we don't want to hurt them. We don't want to suck our loved ones into our depression, and hurt them too.
Other times it's because we don't want to be seen this way amongst our friends. We don't want to be seen like this. We're afraid of their judgement.
Then sometimes it's because we know that they cannot help us now. We know that we have chosen to be this, and no matter the effort they put in to try and help... it's not going to. We don't want them to try at the impossible.
Depressed people are usually self-depricating, or feel as if they are worthless, useless, or hurt other people. In situations I have noticed depressed people pushing loved ones away because they either feel that they cannot be/are not loved, or potentially harmful to that loved one.
