From personal experience I feel the same way as you, but I embrace it. My diary writing, the fact that I've started running, all of these things I keep to myself & it makes them even better. I think to share with others would diminish their value, would make it feel as though I am doing it for praise or for something outside of myself.
I felt what you describe here very acutely yesterday, because it was my final day of high school and we had a graduation-esque ceremony. (The Irish equivalent, basically.) I felt like the only way I could really move forward in my life 'properly' was to shut everyone out so that I could make some kind of clean break. Weird feelings.
Yeah I don't want to get into arguments about this stuff but I also generally stick to Japanese visual novels.
i feel like the only good OELVN i've read (and this is definitely an exaggeration bc im sure theres some good stuff out there that im ignoring) was katawa shoujo & that's a vn that actually tries to be a vn......like its not trying to make fun of the genre or anything
Feeling similarly & am also embracing silence: Not listening to music for the month. Everything has become noise & I am completely unable to discern what any of it means.
i've always wanted to do something like that.......it feels nice to know someone else feels similar though. i really appreciate you vashti
Maybe try some meditation. I used to think all of the empty your mind stuff was bunk but maybe there is something to it.
i had the same feelings before but never tried to spoke it out, the way i felt always hiding inside me since i am young, maybe i am used to it-
