I can spend hours on the computer or playing games. I also have a bath and i'm in it for a couple of hours just sat there reading and constantly topping it up with more hot water.
Avoiding contact with friends and family? Usually until they initiate it again.
Sometimes I want to be with people, and I'll come out of my room on my own... that happens about twice a week. I wouldn't go more out of my way than going upstairs to talk to my housemates, though. If I had to leave the house, it'd b too much of a bother.
Yeah, I'm very prone to disappearing. I really do need to warn people about it; NTs seem to want daily contact and think you hate them if you don't want it, too. I don't want to hurt anybody unintentionally.
When I feel a bit down I don't want to speak to people or even be around them. This usually does not last thankfully.
I am getting better at letting my gaurd down a bit and don't always pretend everything is ok when it isn't.
There must be some sort of connection there. as for why they lost touch well if you didn't maintain contact with them they may have thought you did not want to stay friends with them or they had done something wrong, could be a range of reasons. When you don't want to do something it is hard to compel yourself to do it despite knowing it is good for you in the long term to have peopel you know and can rely on as friends.
If it wasn't for my job, my family, and the inescapable necessity of buying groceries, I would probably just about never go out. I disappear as often as I can and for as long as I can.
I am similar to this. I do not have any friends and when my family go on holiday I take the week of work and spend the time completely alone and I really enjoy it. I also like to drive to remote places where no one else is and just be alone.
I once vanished for a week when I was 18, packed some stuff in a bag and off I went and returned a week later.
Not exactly the most responsible thing i ever did in my life.
Sometimes I pull away when I feel that the people I'm interacting with are getting too close to me. I'm trying to work on that...
I also disappear for short periods (just back from one, actually) when I'm especially depressed or REALLY absorbed in a special interest.

It's not impossible but it is not easy.
To send an email or text does not take long.

Have you played Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?
No, right now I'm having trouble with "Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus". I'm not good at first-person shooter games...although it has been good for venting all that suppressed agression.

I had one of my female friends calling me up crying thinking I had abandoned her for better friends where I live now. It's impossible for me to keep in touch and I hate that it hurts people.
I had that issue with a friend, only they were local and I was the one crying because I thought their lack of contact meant they didn't like me any more. I'm doing my best to realise now that people often don't contact because they are busy, rather than because of any dislike.
Perhaps I am a bit paranoid about this as I tend to say the wrong thing on a regular basis.
Sorry, I've been away for a couple of months. What were we discussing?
ah,the Irony is deciduous...
Is it irony? I think it may be just the opposite (which, I suppose, would make calling it "irony" ironic).
Sometimes a couple of months.
I don't want to hurt anybody unintentionally.
you want to always do it intentionally?
