is there a name for the psychological phenomenon of being so painfully lonely that you just want to be even more alone?

that's what I'm feeling.

I think that's too heavy for a single word. Unless maybe the Germans have something.

Do you know why you want to be more alone?

wanting people around hurts.

But that wouldn't change by being more alone would it?

What is it about people that you miss? What part of human connection are you needing?

joy. fun. comfort.

Is there a way someone could provide those to you?
