This is how I feel when I’m becoming burnt out/depressed. It’s totally okay to take a solitary period so you can give the other aspects of your life the attention it needs. But humans are social creatures and you will eventually need to return to some form of socialization to maintain a healthy and balanced life. If after a bit of solitude you come back and find yourself just as frustrated as before, then it might be worth looking into making new friends or setting boundaries

if after hanging out with the people you know you feel a pit in your stomach, or genuinely generally icky, do it. If after hanging out with them you feel radiant or happy, don’t. It’s hard to tell when it’s the anxiety or when it’s genuinely not fucking with them. But to validate, yes, it is normal to think about. When i think about cutting everyone off tho it’s usually before i go into a depressive episode. I’ve got like 3 solid people I know i can count on

but i’ve had, and gone through ~13 that i realized one day i couldn’t be myself around, or that they were honestly impacting me negatively. Cut them off, and kept the people in my life who make me feel good after talking to or hanging out with. People i can be my entire, beautiful ugly self with.

Funnily enough, when I’m done hanging out with one friend in particular, I tend to feel really low and depressed, but I’m pretty sure it’s for the opposite reason. While I’m hanging with them, I’m fully and completely myself, they don’t judge me, and we both have a great time together. Because of that, I think once I’m done hanging out with them, it’s like I’ve been hit with a cold splash of reality and I’m suddenly depressed and lonely for a bit
