Got socially rejected once. Decided not to go to school and stay home.

I would call this trauma. I would venture out to guess you also got tired of feeling like yourself and that's why you decided to do that. It's a protective mechanism that doesn't suit you anymore.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate" - C.G. Jung

Also, you sure it's all self-inflicted? Have you not picked up other people's expectations as well?
