This story is so different from my reality. As an introvert who works at home and moved to a new state where I know pretty much no one--I've been social distancing now for nearly a year. It's not that hard, in fact it's kind of a relief. But even I get cabin fever. It's hard to make new friends at a new church (the UU, half-full of athiests LOL), hard to join anything (pickleball?) and I don't bother going to the gym because it's filled with panting mouth-breathers. I guess my view is, at 55, I simply don't want COVID and this won't last forever. I've had a chronic illness for two decades and I don't want another viral load (or worse, hospitalization or death). So life is on hold, for a year, maybe a year and a half. I can live with that...but reading about people who love crowds and partying I realize I'm probably in a minority.
