How are you?

And I mean, how are you truly doing during this lockdown?

I'm losing track of time and days. I miss being physical with my friends, I miss hugging them. I miss my nights out. I miss adult times.

I feel like I'm slowly withering away....

I've noticed that the extroverts are having a much tougher time than the introverts. It will get better.

Posted by rabidtalker I've noticed that the extroverts are having a much tougher time than the introverts. It will get better.

I'm actually very introverted.

Part of my therapy was to organise evening outs to meet new people, help me deal with social fears and to try new things. When I finally started to feel comfortable doing this on a regular basis, covid happened. Now knowing what I have been missing out on all those years, I actually want to go out and just be amongst other adults and have fun.

If you were a die-hard extorvert, it would be much worse. On the bright side, I think most of america will exit lockdown soon, or enter phases of it. I'm also assuming you live in the united states.

Loving the quarantine. Not much has changed... Still working, and just less social events and travel which made me have more time for my hobbies and other passions.

You can still do a group video calling with your friends? Play online games together or something else you have in common. Try to keep yourself in routine like you did before, you'll be fine 🙂

Yeah do call with a few friends but its not the same. Also, limited in what I can talk about cause the kids are always present.

I'm not sure, because the whole thing feels surreal frequently. It doesn't matter how many people I talk about it with, it still doesn't feel entirely real.

It does!

And at the same time, I know we're in a significant part of future history.

Its very surreal....

Doing ok, i am very adaptable so i thrive in social gatherings but also am fine staying at home too. But you'll find me always doing or learning something, multitasking a lot too, like right now, im doing a bunch of other stuff and got a cake in the oven too.

The first weeks of lockdown i was redoing my finances and doing some planning ahead, for projects im involved in. Been doing some recordings, reading and cooking too.

Emotionally, this time alone has helped me to further heal from bad situations i got myself involved in last year.

Ive got just one more week of confinement and off ill go.

Also discovered some good people in this forum too, wish them the best.

It's not really changed much for me. I've still been going out every single day, and yet to see anyone on my fb or any social media for that matter who has gotten sick.

Did you know lots of hospitals were and still are considering anyone sick to have the virus? And if you happen to have died during the pandemic many places considered it corona related.

I'm not saying its not a real thing. I just personally feel like something is up. Its not as big as the media claims, nor do I believe its even super contagious.

Either I'm a complete idiot, or have a sense of problem solving and attention to detail that is above average. It just doesn't add up to me. And the fact hospital's and the government have been 100% admitting on giving false numbers yet no one really talks about that. But is that a lie all in itself? Idk wtf is true, but honestly never have.

I am going to miss quarantine life. This has been esoteric.

My friend definitely died of the virus.

I think it's hard for people to fathom things that arent tangible and cant be filmed or proven.

Which is why religion is in it's way out

Faith and belief have been replaced by Go Lives and fake news outrage.

Idk about anyone else but this quarantine helped expose the snakes in my grass and brought out a few admirers.

Creativity dope 📽

Aww inspiring time 💰

Luck 💯

I'm sorry for your loss.

Idk what you know about their situation other then actual death, but anything the hospital used to test people, or lack there of, was through the government first. The same government no one seems to trust, and everyone loves to hate. But every one instantly trusts they are 100% on point when they say people are dying from just the virus and not other natural reasons. I can't really say anything else on the subject, because I know nothing.

I'm handling quarantine really well and will miss it once we're forced back into the rat race.

That's how I feel. Its like this virus is not real and the hospitals/government are just making up the figures to scare us into staying in our homes.

I can't help thinking 'WTF is Really going on?"

A friend of mine lives in Spain and he said the same thing. He thinks something is going on!

The virus is real.

We all know that not everything gets into the news and we also know that the news isnt always correct either.

I've seen people die from this virus whom tested positive for it.

Yes! I'm really not missing the rat race life style . And I feel like, companies need to look further after lockdown to see if people can impliment working from home if that feels better and raises their productivity. Can imagine that there are plenty whom have benefitted from working at home. Perhaps companies can look into it and see if they can remain doing so or have like 1 or 2 days a week office day and rest of the week working from home.

We're doing it now, it functions so why not continue ?

Yes, I do like the total reduction in traffic/vehicles on the roads each day.

.....But the rat race commute will definitely add a new dimension of stress when it inevitably returns.

I love the lack of traffic! The air is so much better to breathe, nature is loving it and it reduces sounds and creates a more peaceful surrounding.

Huge plus, cleaner air to breathe!

Besides feeling sick, I’m fine. This is the norm for me.

I’m 89% introverted.

Get better soon!

Exactly so many good things came out of this.

Why are we going back to normal?

Posted by halalbae

I feel you, its finally starting to crack me too

Where are you going first when the outside opens up again?

Probably a night out with friends.

And my workplace. I work in the music entertainment and everything related to this, is shut down. So no work and no coworker meetings ect.

I hope we all learn from this and make needed changes.

How will I live with the sun not grazing my face?

Without the wind blowing in my hair?

Without the smell of the ocean breeze caressing my nostrils, as it fills my lungs?

I've finally been defeated! The beaches are closing until this is all over!

What will I do as they extend my death month by month until the new year reaches?

How will I survive this torture and torment?

STUPID FREAKING RONA!!!! 😭

I'm alive and healthy-ish. I sometimes wonder though if anyone I used to know is already dead or dying 🤔 Hmmph..guess I'll never know 🤷🏾‍♂️

i miss the gym... kind of.. hah

Posted by ElvisStalinWoods

Overall, I'm fine. In regards to the general elements of this pandemic, I'm taking it on a day-to-day basis. Sort of bummed that I cant go kick my mom's ass at boardgames or have a pint with close friends, but otherwise, I'm chill.

Dig deeper and I'm finding old struggles rising back to the surface, namely the two following ones:

1) My experience with death and watching the death toll rise is bringing back to face that dark part of my mind that wants to convince me that everything is absolutely meaningless in this life, nothing matters and why not just get off the ride now?

2) As much as I have made so many efforts to try and appreciate and understand people and treat everyone with respect, the frailty of some people and their self-serving ways has made me return to a spirit of misanthropy that I find made me really toxic as a person.

So, I'm good, but just fighting those two ideas on occasion.

These times sure make us think, unfinished/unresolved stuff from the past may surface. It forces us to deal with stuff that was carefully put away in the depths of our minds. And especially those who are forced to sit at home and not able to work, probably get hit hard now.

In a way it does serve a purpose I think, cause now we've been given the time to really process things. Or at least, thats how I look at it. I toohave ghosts from the past that surface. Facing them headon tho and deal with them as they come. Luckily I have a handfullof friends who help me by just being a listening ear.

Hang in there!

Better times are coming even tho it may not feel like it.

We introverts need to stop making fun of extroverts. Just like it's not okay to shame us for being homebodies, it's not okay to shame y'all for needing stimulation from other people. #momvoice

I just have too much time on my hands and my heart keeps waking me up in the middle of the night and whining, cause it misses someone. I'm about ready to pull the damn thing out of my chest! IT's OVA!!! I can't even meet anyone new to make me forget.
