WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME

Withdrawal from one-self is Denial of ones worth.

A lot of us humans decide to withdraw a whole lot into the deepest end of their shells for reasons of wanting to be alone. Maybe you just got out of a relationship or you are been bullied or picked on in the office. All these are possible reasons for withdrawal into ones shell but is it right to do so?

Withdrawal into ones zone I would say is amateur and dangerous as well. I heard a case from a friend who works with the La Crete  Fire Service department, Edmonton, Canada about some man who had an argument with his wife, went into solitary in the closet and by the time he was checked on- he had shot himself. What if he had gone to a bar or hooked up with friends to talk things out?
The end result would have been different, Yes. A whole lot of us are ignorant to the fact that a problem shared is a problem half solved not forgetting the fact that we feel much relieved after a chit-chat with a family member or buddie over a problem.

Be open minded and stay positive knowing there's that one person out there who is ready to listen to what you have to say no matter how messy it may sound. That person may not be the next door neighbor but someone whom fate has put in your life for such times and they might just be a stranger you meet at the bar or on the bus.

I make it the habit to go through the timeline of my social networking apps, taking note of peoples status updates not like I care but I actually find myself checking up on those with sad updates or as little as depressed smileys- try to cheer them up and once that is achieved, I smile to myself and call it a successful one. Funny to know that most of these individuals I happen to cheer up are either strangers who added me up for reasons best known to them or long time buddies who are just on my list and we haven't spoken in months sometimes years, lol.

We as humans should kindly take note of those around us because not everyone feeling rejected would have the courage to approach you for advice or a chit-chat due to the fact that their withdrawal state happens to be deep. Observe at your place of work -that colleague whose mood wasn't same as yesterdays or in school -that guy/girl who decides to sit alone all the time or even in your neighborhood -that neighbor who decides to be on his/her own and approach them, make them feel loved and they shall be forever appreciative.

You just might be saving a life *smiles*.
