I'm a total introvert so life during the time of COVID is not much different for me as I tend to stay at home and not socialize much anyways. But I feel terrible for the family/friends I know that thrive on being around others and those who are used to having at least some amount of social activity planned into their calendars, e.g. eating out with friends, going to the theatre (musicals and films), playing bridge, volunteer activities, group fitness classes, etc.
As an aside, I loved the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. https://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Power-I...dp/0307352153/ I read a physical copy of the book from my local library back five years ago at least but now my library has it available to download/checkout for free to your kindle via Overdrive or you can check it out as an e-book (again for free) via cloudLibrary (at least through my library). |

That's exactly how I feel after the zoom meetings!

I am an introvert. When all of this first started a lot of stuff was shut down here. I felt wonderful and was even able to lose 10 pounds easily. Once things started opening back up and we got back to more of a normal routine my anxiety started flaring up again. Of course I gained back the weight I lost. I do well on my own with my DH and some contact with certain friends. Too much outside stimulation with others causes anxiety for me.
