2.13 Explanatory: Withdrawal is a type of behavior in which an individual removes themselves from a situation or environment due to anxiety, fear, or distress. This type of behavior can be seen in both children and adults, and the reasons for withdrawal can vary from one person to the next. Generally speaking, there are three main types of withdrawal: physical withdrawal, emotional withdrawal, and social withdrawal. Physical withdrawal is when a person avoids physical contact with others, such as hugging, touching, or shaking hands. Emotional withdrawal is when a person avoids expressing their feelings or engaging in activities that could lead to emotional reactions. Finally, social withdrawal is when a person avoids participating in social interactions or activities.
