I am not sure how to explain it.

When you withdraw, do you still come to DU? What public interactions do you still involve yourself with? Can you talk on the phone to people you know, or is that part of your withdrawal, too?

It is a good thing I have a husband who understands. He does not force any social interaction on me.
