Maybe I am older than most in here, but I grew up with only books, TV, or riding a bike to keep myself entertained. What is all the panic about boredom given we now have internet and videoconferencing? 🧐

I agree re: cabin fever. Not having any place to go is getting old...not even around the block to get coffee. Just the same four walls for who knows how long. Plus the library is closed and I don’t have a kindel. So I could hypothetically run out of books

Going forward beyond corona, an open forum of threads/discussions on successful approaches to the workplace as an introvert would be nice for people to share their stories. Many posts hover around this but it’s be nice to have a larger forum discussion!
