LadyH answered Tuesday January 30 2007, 1:53 am: Well, we all go through stages where we need some alone time & don't really feel like going out. Sometimes going out & doing the same stuff gets old. But if this has extended for more than a few weeks, then it could be a sign of depression. [ LadyH's advice column | Ask LadyH A Question ]

Now, I'm not saying that's what you have, because it's different for other people. I think maybe you should talk to your physician about it, just to be on the safe side. Just my personal opinion, just to make sure you're alright. [ xcheerbabex108's advice column | Ask xcheerbabex108 A Question ]

Shortcake22 answered Monday January 29 2007, 11:04 pm: Well, when I get like that, it's usually because I'm exausted. Whether physically or emotionally. It could be because I've had a lot of homework lately, and just need to rest, or it could be because I recently got in a fight with someone, and my stress level is high.
But I'm wondering, how long has this been going on? Because if it's been awhile, it could be more.
And is this extending outside of the home? Are you still hanging out with your friends, having people over, talking in school?
If yes, it could be depression. But people usually know when they are depressed, kind of hard to be unaware =)
But, perhaps seasonal depression? You never know.
But, it could be nothing. People change all the time. It could also be just a phase. No big deal, nothing to worry about.
Just pay close attention to your feelings. Maybe talk to someone about them. A parent, perhaps? See what they say about it, and if they have noticed any changes in you. But stay positive, chances are it's nothing =) [ Shortcake22's advice column | Ask Shortcake22 A Question ]
phillysprincesss answered Monday January 29 2007, 10:50 pm: It may or may not be a sign of anything. Most people go through a lil phase of wanting to be alone. It's how long it goes on for that you need to be aware of. If you never want to be around people or talk to people and it's been going on for a while or continues to go on for a while then there may be a problem. Is there anything that you have been depressed over lately? Or maybe you are just tired of being with the same poeple and doing the same things. Talk to your mom or another family member your are close to. You could also talk to a counselor at school about what is going on. I hope you feel better :-) [ phillysprincesss's advice column | Ask phillysprincesss A Question ]
