[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sibling grew increasingly “private” in weird ways. For example: when they would run an errand (like go to Target) and someone asked “oh where did you go?”, they would say “out” and act evasive. They always thought we were talking about them in the other room, they thought we were hiding their mail, etc. Extreme secrecy, depression and pulling away from people were the first signs.[/quote] These don't sound like red flags on their own. Context is important. For example in an enmeshed/overbearing/high anxiety family where people are all into eachother's business a teen or early adult may try to push back with distancing and less direct answering. They might give less information in general. My guess is this was very extreme and there were other signs too.[/quote]
