Extroverts, how are you coping? I feel like so much of what I liked about my job (client interactions, building relationships, etc.) is now gone. What used to energize me for work is gone and I haven’t figured out a workaround.

I’m trying to fill my need for interaction through zoom calls and virtual game nights, but it’s been 70+ days and those aren’t cutting it anymore.

Any advice?

I feel you and am having a very hard time as well being an extrovert who thrives on social interaction

It's been so difficult, i FaceTime 2-3 people a day, do some of my hobbies and am studying for the GMAT. Best to keep busy as much as possible

Lots of meetings with team members, working on the same problem - similar to how you would work in a bullpen. Get everyone on a MS Teams call and work together. Not the same, but it helps.

Not very well at the moment. Hoping that vacation next week will help (going to see my family-we are burying my dad) since I'll have in person interactions with people I actually know and like.

Same. And I hate video calls because it feels very monologue-y. I’m lucky I’m staying with my sister and I have picked up extra hobbies. It’s very hard though.

I’m loosing my mind. I’ve been making a couple prospect calls a week to talk to someone new and get some sort of interaction which has helped

I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work.

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute.. Would it be entitled of me to ask to come into the office 3x/week since by the time that we return to the office, I’ve already proven that I can work efficiently from home? I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.
