You don't fully understand other people problem unless you experience same problem

I would like to share some thoughts about others reacting to person with SAD. I heard one psychologist talking about reactions of others to the withdrown and (quiet) behaviors. At my job I tend to avoid social contact with people unless it's part of my job responsibilities and I don't know how my co-workers enterpret my behavior but I started to think that they might feel like i am rude and put myself above them (which is obviously not the case). at the same time i don't want to create stigma by telling them about my condition, i was always trying to hide my simptoms.

Anyone have thouhts or strategies about how to act and improve understanding taking in consideration that most of those people are possibly not educated about mental health or SAD in particular.

I know trhat i can get some assistance from MH professionals. Still, it's interesting to hear some perspectives from people with same condition.

Thanks.
