and don't feel like talking to anybody, and you tell your friends that you don't want to talk to anyone. Yet, they insist on calling you again and again to talk to you. They say they want to help you. What would you do?
How do you tell them in a Polite way, without hurting their feelings that you REALLY don't want to talk?

Tell them you just need some time to yourself, and you'll text them or call them or something when you feel like talking. Turn off your phone so you won't keep having to explain yourself. Put an away message up on AIM if you do that type of stuff. Your friends are the type of people who should know what you need and when you need it, so if you just explain to them what you're going through, their feelings shouldn't be hurt.

Say, "Please, I just don't want to talk now, but I will call you the very minute I need to vent, okay? I am just going to shut off my phone and rest for a while--I will call you in a few" That will do a several things: 1. It will let your friend know you value him/her as an adviser 2. It will put you in control of the calling 3. It is polite and to the point, and should be a message to your friend to give you space.
Unplugging/ shutting off the phone gives you 100% control of your peace of mind. It is something I have done for years, and none of my many friends have disowned me for my need for privacy and quiet. Your friends, your REAL friends will also understand and be there for you when you do decide to talk.

My dear Mazza -h ,loooks llike u are quite fond of polls.
wikipedia et al.
Well, in the abv case, if u dont want to hurt their feelings, then do get a caller ID for yr phone or put the phone on
""Voice Mail""".
Mute the ring tone and relax. Be with yrself and meditate.
Cause looks like u are in a pensive mood already.
Cheerup young lady , think of the many things u are blessed with --- thank the Lord for it.
By counting yr blessings , u will not feel so low & realise that life is not so bad after all.
Cheer up !!!!!!! tomorrow is another day.

Well I've suffered from depression for quite a while. The doctors tell you that you can't get to the point where you don't want to spend time with friends or talk to them. He's probably just trying to help. Sometimes if you do talk about it it does help.

Turn off the phone, everyone needs time to be alone sometimes. Go for a walk the fresh air may do you some good. Good friends will understand.

Tell them that you'd like the time alone and you'll get back to them later. Switch off your mobile phone or unplug your phone if you don't want anyone to bother you.

dont tell them when your feeling low. tell them when you are feeling fine. and make sure they know when your fine. but when your fine, just tell them that when your low, you will tell them and would rather deal with the problem by yourself. reasure them that you would never do anything stupid, dangerous, or suicidel, and that you hope they will respect you enough to know that you say what you mean and mean what you say. that should help the situation. i've dealt with this with my friends and it worked fine. go for it!!!

Tell them you're trying to take a nap, and shut the ringer off.
