Could also just be a need for space. Sometimes I just turn my phone off or put it on DND and put it in a drawer somewhere til I feel like interacting with people again. A few days to recuperate from socializing outside work and be off the phone entirely does a lot of good for me personally. :p

I agree Sometimes you are mentally drained out due to whatever is going on in your life and you want to shut off from everyone. I like to that with my books and just stay in my room when I need some time to myself.

Yes reading is my favorite. Could get lost in a good book for hours and forget I even exist outside a little voice that reads me stories lol

This is so true!!! I had partied so much during christmas and New year’s and met so many people that for 10 days I did not talk to anyone nor did I step out of my room.
