I don't think you are abnormal at all--I get on "people overload" sometimes and "go quiet" for a day or so. To avoid hurt feelings and excessive worrying (and injury, in the case of your ex), its usually best to give some advanced warning. People tend to assume the worst when they have no information--"He's avoiding me specifically" or "He's been hurt". Let them know it's not a personal thing--just your need to be alone for some time.
