I don't want to actively communicate with others

Not wanting to actively communicate with others may be a normal personality tendency, or it may be related to psychological state. Long term avoidance of socializing may affect interpersonal relationships and social functioning, and it is necessary to determine whether intervention is needed based on specific situations. Social avoidance behavior usually has two types of manifestations. Introverted individuals often enjoy solitude more and can gain energy from a small amount of high-quality social interaction, and this tendency does not require excessive worry. But if accompanied by sustained low mood, self denial, or physical discomfort, it may be related to psychological states such as social anxiety and depression. Part of the population may experience a temporary decrease in social willingness under high-pressure environments or fatigue, which is a normal psychological regulation mechanism. Pathological social avoidance is often accompanied by physiological reactions such as palpitations, sweating, or anticipated anxiety. Diseases such as post-traumatic stress disorder and autism spectrum disorder may also lead to difficulties in active social interaction. If children and adolescents suddenly refuse to go to school or interact with peers, parents should pay attention to whether there is campus bullying or adaptation barriers. Long term isolation may exacerbate negative thinking patterns and form an avoidant personality tendency. Developing progressive social exposure can help improve avoidance behavior, such as starting from short-term online communication. Maintaining a regular schedule and moderate exercise can stabilize emotional states, while yoga or mindfulness training can reduce social sensitivity. If avoidance behavior persists for more than two weeks and affects daily life, it is recommended to seek professional evaluation from a psychological counselor or psychiatrist. There are individual differences in social needs, so there is no need to force oneself to conform to extraversion standards, but one should be alert to the psychological health risks brought by excessive isolation.
