I hide from negative people. Life can be difficult and this is something we all know. It is easier for me to face things with a smile and a positive attitude than put up with negativity. I mean I really hide. In stores, anywhere, to get away from the overly negative types.
I also have a tendancy to be shy, so I must admit I sometimes hide myself from social functions. The shyness I wish I could work on.

This sounds really dark…it hasn’t happened in years…but, if I ever over indulged with alchohol, it would make me so depressed that I’d hide in my closet!!! Those carefree, partying days came with a price! So, I’m a big fan of getting older…no need to hide.

When I don’t want others to read my emotions, my thoughts. I throw myself in any kind of work, housework, office work, ect…

I hide from those who try to prevent me from being me. The me is a
creative and caring person…fairly intelligent. I have discovered
there are some who balk at intelligence on the part of female person.

I hide whenever there is something that I don’t want to face…problems at home, work, socially…. but I have learned that if you ignore it, it unfortunately won’t go away. I’m a cancer, I can’t help but hide in my shell! *Creatively Playful*

It sounds like you are just a misunderstood introvert. You should read this book called “The Introvert Advantage” – it was completely liberating for me because I am an introvert as well, and like 75% of the U.S. population are extroverts. You should definitely stop trying to be bubbly if you don’t feel it because it is a total energy drain. This book helped me to be comfortable with being an introvert and gave excellent suggestions on ways to conserve your energy and deal with others.

I hide behind my camera in social situations. So much easier than small talk.

You said a mouthful – who invented small talk anyway? I wish that people would not talk unless they really have something substantial, or “big” to say. I am very economical with my words and I rarely speak unless I truly have something to say. I crave “real” conversations, and it is so hard to find others that feel the same way.
