If I wake up thinking I won’t see friends/housemates that day I’m fine alone in my room just doing whatever without feeling lonely but if someone then suddenly comes and talks to me I can’t socialise back like I normally do because I’ve prepared mentally to be alone. I then feel lonely whilst talking to them but not before hand when I’m actually alone.
Normally I can be social, leave my door open for people etc but when I believe no one is going to talk to me I get into my “oh I don’t mind being alone, I can entertain myself mindset” (since I didn’t socialise much for over a year in college I’m used to being alone now when I need to be and I don’t tend to reach out to people but let them reach out to me).
Does anyone else feel this/know what this is?
