Why do I shut down and not talk to my friends or family when I’m depressed? How do I tell people I don’t mean to ignore them I just need space
Tell them you need space

Write down your feeling and cry a little.
Just say that
24/7
They should just understand tbh
I cannot relate
Because sometimes you just need to be alone and that’s perfectly okay but please don’t drown yourself in isolation. Allow people to help you heal what battles you have. Please don’t go through it by yourself
Stop being so selfish. Get involved in life
What won’t? Another Christmas?
Tell them right now your going through something and you need a little space to avoid doing irrational things or saying hurtful things so please respect that
I think that's how depression impacts many people, is that it changes their personality to being more withdrawn. Have you tried telling people that it's nothing personal, you just need some quiet time away from people for a little while?
