Long-term psychological change as a result of the loss was social withdrawal and changes in identity. In social withdrawal, it is a challenge for me to interact with others. Till now, I have tried to get out of my comfort zone, but I'm not too fond of the feeling, or someone pushes me to socialize, which I wouldn't say I like because I see they do not get where I am coming from where I have struggled in socializing with others ever since I have been such a close door after the loss of my dog. I feel like I am in social withdrawal; I did withdraw from my friends.
