Isolation is often gradual and rarely feels like isolation while it happens. It can begin as jealousy, criticism of the people who care about you, or conflict that reliably occurs before you see them — until seeing them costs more than staying home.
- Criticism or suspicion of your friends and family
- Sulking, arguments or 'emergencies' whenever you make plans
- Being moved away from your support network
- Being told nobody else understands you or would put up with you
- Slowly declining invitations to keep the peace
