RE: Do I Like People?

in Freewriters3 years ago

I can relate quite a bit, even though I'd say things are actually the other way round for me. You probably know the Clint Eastwood meme, saying: "You never realize how anti-social you are until there's a pandemic and your life doesn't change that much." Like I've always liked to hibernate a little, isolating myself from the world for a while... but never for months or years on end! This time, however, I may have embraced it more than ever, not even feeling like going out any more, other than walking my dog or getting groceries. I know, it may be bad, but ... I'd rather wait for a good, strong motivation for change. So what I'm saying is: stay in, or go out, maybe try a combination of the two, but in either case don't feel bad about it. I believe reclusive tendencies have to grow into much greater dimensions before you can call them misanthropy or agoraphobia.
