To be so upset or containing similar emotional distress that one avoids social contact and "hides in one's shell."

Isaac was so upset after his girlfriend dumped him that he decided to be a turtle for the night until he felt a little better.

"Did you guys see Emergency Handshake yesterday?"
"Naw, who would want to watch a bunch of amateurs?"
