This is just a way : Of avoiding the issue. Instead of sleeping excessively - put your thinking cap on ; figure out activities you can be involved in that will increase interpersonal contacts. Examples: church, sports teams, art classes, choir, etc. Look for ways to find meaning in your life. When you have meaning you won't find the need to avoid living.
