Social isolation—also known as social withdrawal—occurs when individuals begin to pull away from relationships, community, or activities that once brought connection and fulfillment.
This can be a response to stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or burnout. Over time, isolation can deepen emotional distress, diminish motivation, and impact physical and mental health.

What It Involves

• Awareness — Recognizing when withdrawal patterns are forming and understanding their emotional or situational roots.

• Self-Compassion — Approaching yourself with kindness instead of guilt for needing space or struggling to connect.

• Gradual Reconnection — Taking small, manageable steps toward social interaction and support.

• Boundary Balance — Knowing when solitude is restorative versus when it becomes isolating.

• Support-Seeking — Learning to ask for help and receive care without fear of burdening others.
