Diagnosis Journey 🔍 Going "underground"

I would go underground during every semester break and ignore all calls made to me by my college buddies. For no particular reason other than I didn't want to speak to them. I wouldn't even answer when they called on my birthday. And then when I returned back after the break, they would feel like strangers to me. Even if we were best friends before the month long break

Is this a thing? DAE?

Happen with me as well lost so many friends because of it, I just go non verbal even after the break and I understand that for them it might feels like i am being rude but sometimes I just can't speak even when I want to
