When i'm in a bad mood, i usually don't feel like talking with someone, i usually lock myself at my room, open my component then switch to the maximum volume, when i was still living in my parent's house they know the meaning when i do that its as simple as i don't want to talk with anybody and i don't want to be disturb.... Now in my new apartment, i have this headset and stick it up on my ear switch my ipod to its max volume, so i won't hear anybody, even the sound of my phone ringing and if there's someone knocking at my door. Is it wrong not to talk to EVERYBODY when i'm in a bad mood?

If you are going to bark and say nasty thing to whoever call you and knock on your door at your time of 'bad mood' then I guess yes, you have better ignore them and calm yourself before meeting the and answering your phone.
Using a headset at a maximum volume would damage your ears.

Not wrong but perhaps a bit unfair to your parents because they may think that they are being blamed for something. I can understand not wanting to speak when not in a good mood, I too can be guilty of such.
Perhaps a greeting and explanation that you need a bit of time by yourself at the moment may at least allow them to understand and not feel bad.

don't worry madam, when i'm a bit of depressed or upset, and feel like not talking with anyone, i usually hug my mom first for her to know that i'm feeling bad then tell her i'll have my components volumed max, so you know what it mean ma..... my mom is great she always understands me

I understand what you mean. I don't think its wrong to do this. For If I'm a bit upset its just best to cool off before I start talking or trying to have a convo with somebody. I think thats only fair. If a family member let you cool off to have a little time to yourself to get over that particular situation.

family and friends who really knew me and loved me always understand, in times the same thing happen to then i will surely try my best to wait for them to cool down and i would definitely understand what they were going through

That is good idea. It is better not to spoil others mood too. Even me too when i am in bad mood i never go out. I remain silent in my room trying to make myself happy. Infect human minds are moody and i really don'g like getting moody. I am trying to control my moods. Wanna be always in happy mood and always show smiling face to others.

that was good, always hide what you feel with a smile so person won't me intimidated by your feeling, but in my case it was really hard to smile when i'm not in the mood, i'm not a jolly person

hi xien,
If i am not in the good mood as much as possible i don't want to talk to anyone because anytime i can explode so as much as possible i try to avoid it so i will not hurt someone's feelings.

There is nothing wrong exercising what you want to do. When you lock yourself into your own world, does it solve the problem? Do you know the cause of your bad mood?
Maybe you could lighten up and go shopping, enjoy the scenery. At least, people in your house would not suspect they were the cause of your bad mood. Frankly, they should not be made to suffer when you have bad mood too. What if they keep knocking the door and you don't answer? They might conclude wrongly you are angry with them.
I believe there are better ways to overcome bad moods. Hiding just isn't one of them. Sorry.

having a bad mood definitely doesn't mean that i'm having a problem to solve, so nothing to solve when i locked in myself... plus i don't go shopping i hate the mood in the mall being surrounded by many people, it's very rare that i go to a mall, and when i do, i'll just buy the things i need then go home. people who really knew me especially my parents know my attitude and they understand me so they won't get mad if i lock my door. and definitely when they hear my max volume sound they had a hint to not disturb me

Well, you're just being you. You can't talk to everybody anyway, but paying attention to what's happening around you ]would be a nice thing for you to start doing. It's not only that you'll start gaining more friends but also being aware of what's happening around you especially when you're the one to be in need in the future and you'll badly need someone to talk to.

I was also like that. When I am not in the mood, I also dont want to talk..And I hate answering stupid questions, I mean, question with obvious answers. When that happens, I might sound rude but I be come sarcastic and I really dont care what others will think and feel.

then it's much better not to talk to them to prevent rudeness, i felt that way that i can't talk well with someone that's why i'm keeping the bad mood only by myself, and when i feel good, that's the reason i can answer everything and explain myself well in a nice way.... try to relax a bit to loosen up your bad feeling

Yes this is very bad if you are not talking with anybody when your mood if bad or off. You can share your problem with anybody who is closed with you or find out the solution but this is not solution to not talk with anybody. Your mother and father will be worry they asked again and again what is wrong with my child so he is not talking with me also.
If you are not talking then it will be only 10 to 15 minutes not much more because this is my habit I never angry with anybody 5 to 10 minutes after and behave as it is like not wrong with me. Sometime phone is urgent also so pick up the phone is must why you do this. My mood is never bad or off because I am a free frank women and tell anybody if they wrong why do this?

Its not wrong. Its prolly better to be that way because I notice when we are in a bad mood we tend to say nasty stuff that hurts people feelings.So its best for people to keep their distance from you when your in a bad mood.
so nope its not wrong.makes sense to me.(but you might not want to blast your ipod..it could mess up your hearing forever)

I don't talk with anyone when I'm mad too coz I might say something pretty harsh, and I wouldn't want that to happen. I'm the same as you. Turn the speakers to full volume and listen to my favorite songs. It helps me cool down.
And i think it's pretty OK not to talk to people when you're angry coz you might hurt them. If not, it's OK to talk to someone.

I'm also like that in my younger days. But as I grow older, I realized that its not good. That I'm only hurting those people who loves me. I know its one way to release my anger but at the same time I realized that I'm also pushing my love ones away from me like telling them, "I don't want to talk, go away, leave me alone".
@xien2xien (1382)

that was harsh to say go away and leave me alone, i've never done that i just don't talk to anybody but definitely not pushing them away, but maybe sometimes when then text me or call me and having no answer i guess they could understand my feeling plus i intend to explain myself after sometimes of being alone.

we are same,when i get mad with somebody or when i am having a bad mood i do lock myself in the bedroom,cry all i want.or watch tv,listening music.and i dont want to talk with anybody.i have this attitude until now even that im already an adult and married.and i think there's nothing wrong not to talk with anybody when you are in a bad mood.that's the way we release our bad mood away..so there i believe there's nothing wrong with it.

yeah i've got you friend, and additional to that, i don't like talking with others because they might get me wrong and felt mad if i don't talk to them in the right way so it's much better not to talk to anyone, so it won't make things worst with others.

hi there!
for me there's nothing wrong with it coz i am also like that! haha when i am not in the mood, i also don't like talking to people, but i don't open a component or anything, i want a quiet environment and i just don't like to talk, like i feel lazy talking! and when someone tried to talk to me while i am on that mood, its either they will get a very short response or an angry answer from me...hehe
sometimes i feel guilty about it but now no more, i guess i already made my self clear to my parents and to my husband that when they observed that i am starting to be quiet and don't mingle with them much, they already know and they respect my mood and just wait when i started to go back to normal...haha

Moods and being around other people sometimes can be a difficult combination. I know that if i am feeling out of sortsd the last thing i want to do is be around other people just shooting the breeze. i would rather be left alone to gwet over my mood.

It's actually advisable to work on your issues first before dealing with other people or you'll unintently transfer your negativity to others which might cause you to regret it later on. I don't think locking yourself up is a bad thing if that's how you deal with a bad mood. Of course, talking or hanging out with friends help too, at least for me it is but it also depends on each individual.

Well, in a way that is better, rather than meeting other people.
Because of your bad mood you may say something wrong that will hurt them. It will really create further trouble and hurt on both parties, you and the affected person.

I guess it's ok for a time. It's sort of a damage control thing just like with the computer, when something is wrong normally it shuts itself down. We ourselves are just like that sometimes. I am like you. When i feel bad i usually for a time just stop talking. The only difference is that i don't turn to music, i just do keep quiet. As for me it is better that way. When you are not in a good mood you tend to say things that you don't really mean which might escalate them problem. Since you are irritable, you might say something that might hurt innocent people around you and displace your bad mood into them. Bad mood when you do not put a conscious effort to choose your words when talking gets contagious. So as for me, the quiet part is a way of coping. It also buys me sometime to think things over and to bounce back. After that certain quiet time, i would need to talk about it and i am glad there are almost always pairs of ears to listen to me when i am ready to open up. Special thanks to my parents, my husband and my good friends for understanding and giving me my space and time and for hearing me out when i am ready to talk. :)
