That’s happened to me. Virtual meetings just aren’t the same. I finally went out for a drink last week with a colleague of mine and it def takes some adjustment going back to hanging out with ppl

You haven’t been to the grocery store or anything like that in 2 months? I haven’t been hanging out with friends, but I have been grocery shopping, to the pharmacy, to the doctor’s office, to the farmer’s market, to stores - all of which require interaction with other people. I also see people when I walk my dogs most of the time so wave and say hi - we even have conversations from a safe distance.

Please make sure you are getting out of your house/apartment and participating in life. Wear a mask (or two) and keep a distance, but you can do it safely!

^That. I haven’t had a real interaction with another person besides the general public - even spent Christmas all alone and NYE with a date and that was it. Slowly losing it

Additional Posts in Confession

I know this is a weird thing to complain about but I get hit on way too much when I’m out. Sometimes the attention is bothersome and overwhelming. I feel like I can’t relax and just drink because people are always trying to talk to me or touch me or get my number. Ive completely stopped giving out my number and just try to keep everything on Instagram DM. I don’t know if there’s really a solution for this but just looking to see if others deal with the same thing.
