Family issues I don’t want to handle.

I’ve been avoiding them, hiding in my room most of the time. It started under the guise of solitude and work, but now I feel bad and guilty because its been a week. How do I stop avoiding them? More importantly, I don’t know why I’m still avoiding them. They aren’t really bad people, and I can’t avoid them forever. It’s just I’m tired of their constant quibbles and talks about their own pasts and problems. I’m a good listener so I don’t speak out much, and just tend to listen. That’s why it gets tiring and I avoid them coz I can’t listen to the same old things all over again. They care for me when I’ve not eaten etc, but that only makes me feel bad. Maybe there are some other emotional things going on in me, but I can’t seem to figure out the real reasons, if there are any, of why I am behaving like this. I shouldn’t feel guilty for taking time out for myself and avoiding them, but why do I feel that way? Don’t know. Don’t know. Don’t know.

You're right. You shouldn't feel guilty for needing the time for yourself. Just come out naturally and at your own pace. I doubt any would mention you staying by yourself. And even if they do, just tell them you needed a bit of quiet time and to recenter yourself.
