Me [21 M] with my girlfriend [18 F] of 5 months, out of nowhere tells me she wants to be by herself and doesn't want to talk anymore. How do I move past this and what could be going through her head?

I'd be interested to know too, but you know what happened already.

I've never been insecure in the past 5 months. I had some doubts before we officially began dating, but since we weren't dating I didn't let anything bother me, since we weren't dating I had no reason to feel entitled to anything. Even after we began dating I didn't feel entitled to anything up until now, where I feel I at least deserve answers or an explanation.

The entire reason that this turn of events is so painful to me is because I placed every bit of faith I had in her. I never once doubted her about anything since we officially became a thing and I'm sure she hasn't doubted me before either. I guess you find it hard to believe a guy wouldn't be clingy in a relationship but I actually never initiated contact when we began dating. Even before we began, I let her know I would never contact her first unless it was an emergency and that we would only talk if she initiates first, because it's the least I can do to convince her I'm not an incredibly needy boyfriend.

Believe me, I trusted her. You seem against me for some reason even though I've never expected anything of her, pushed her, or bother her if she didn't feel like talking. I legitimately feel like I did everything I could.
