What Is Anti-Social Isolation?

Improved Essays
I was socially isolated and extremely far behind on my education (didn't learn how to multiply and divide until 7th grade). This was all due to my mom being a control freak and general manipulator. Thankfully my parents divorced and my dad put me and my little brother in public school. I didn't know how to act around kids my age so I was super weird and didn't realize my actions would have repercussions. I was a real dick because of this and once I realized that no one liked me because of this I became extremely shut in and anti-social. I did my best to clean-slate my personality and tried to start from zero so that I could act like everyone else around me. It was extremely hard to learn this, but over the years I've gotten better. I caught

    These three girls whom I put on a pedestal in my head wouldn’t accept me. This moment is so lucid for me because it was really difficult for me to comprehend at that age.

    I grew up being in and out of homeschooling, which created isolation from people. Although I did not mind it since I was an introvert, so I've never genuinely gotten to connect with people. That feeling of disconnection made me feel all alone in the world, even with the group of fake friends I had. During middle school, I started writing short stories as a way to reflect and express my inner self.…

    Introduction: One in four Americans ages 18 and older experiences a behavioral health illness or substance abuse disorder each year and the majority of those individuals have a comorbid physical health condition.

    Isolation—the experience of being separated from others—may result from being physically removed from others, as when a person lives in a remote area, or it can result from the perception of being removed from a community, such as when a person feels socially or emotionally isolated from others. Social isolation is distinct from the experience of solitude, which is simply the state of being alone, usually by choice. Taking time to be alone can be a healthy, rejuvenating experience that allows us to reconnect with our own needs, goals, beliefs, values, and feelings. But when a person experiences too much solitude or feels socially isolated from others, he or she may develop feelings of loneliness, social anxiety, helplessness, or depression, among others. • What Is Social Isolation ?…

    Since I was a toddler I would run away to my mom from people I didn’t know and also run away from people I did know like my cousins and aunts and uncles. I would run straight to my mom and hide behind her and hold onto her leg until she picked me up. It only got worse as I got older, when I was in gymnastics when I was eight years old, we would have to do competitions and shows in front of the other kids’ families and friends. I would cry and cry until my mom would call my coach and tell them that I was “sick” so I wouldn’t have to perform. As I grew up I come out of my shell more and more…

    I was raised in the midst of mental illness and alcoholism. I felt abandoned by my mother and was suddenly a member of a new family that I never felt I quite belonged in. Both my father and my step-mother not only worked, but had careers. This meant they were gone long hours (my father insisted on having a few drinks every day after work) and ultimately I was left, at a very young age (12), to look after my younger brother in a home where I was the only one present most of the time.…
