This season can get loud- emotionally, socially, energetically.
And if you’ve noticed yourself pulling away… answering texts slower, skipping events, or craving silence more than celebration -you’re not broken.
You might just be overstimulated. 🧠💫
Quiet withdrawal is often misunderstood.
It’s not always sadness.
It’s not apathy.
It’s your nervous system asking for stillness.
For space.
For less.
And yet, the holidays can make this feel wrong. Like you’re supposed to be “on,” connected, cheerful.
But honoring your need for calm doesn’t make you any less loving.
It means you're listening to yourself.
It’s not avoidance -it’s care.
So if you’re caught in that strange in-between- wanting closeness but needing distance -give yourself permission to choose rest.
You don’t have to explain your quiet. You just have to honor it.
✨ If you’ve been feeling this quiet pull, you’re not alone. Reach out when you’re ready.✨
