There’s a difference between being cozy and slipping into isolation. Both might involve staying home more, but the emotional experience is completely different.
Cozy is a choice that feels nurturing and restorative. Isolation often feels heavy and disconnected, like you’re hiding rather than resting. Learning to recognize this difference can help you make choices that actually support your well-being.
There’s nothing wrong with needing more comfort as seasons change, but you deserve for that comfort to feel genuinely good rather than like you’re escaping from life.
Recovery and Wellness Center of Eastern Washington can help you understand the difference and develop strategies that support your needs.
