On a serious note: For those that have been affected by a year of social isolation followed by re-opening, what has your experience been? How have you handled being social again? Here in Sweden, my social life is still on hiatus due to a lack of vaccine availability.

And I was just now talking to someone who I was very close to prior to the pandemic, and it made me realize just how much self-doubt I now have due to the abject lack of face-to-face interactions I've had over the past more-than-a-year.

Getting out of the house, working with amazing coworkers for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week was an incredible boon to my ability to be social. But I feel like in the past year, I've slid backwards to the point that I'm further behind than when I started my job in 2017.

As much as I would love to have close friends to visit once this is all over, I worry about how it will go. Not to get too far into it, but I feel like my sexuality has kind of entered a dormant state as a pure survival measure. Will I even be the same person afterward?

Will I still be the person that my friends befriended all those years ago? Will I even be able to make a move anymore?

It definitely feels a bit alien to meet up again and hang out. This general concept of getting physically closer having been not accepted before due to covid is still ingrained. Tbh I'm not the same person as I was before quarantine so.

Interesting. If I'm reading your message right, you're saying that part of what you've internalized from the pandemic is rejection by others? That's an interesting contrast to what I'm experiencing, which is an internalized rejection *of* others.

I've been in a somewhat lucky position of being able to work entirely from home, and not even have to go out to the store very often on account of a roommate who handles the shopping. But to an extent, I wonder if what I've internalized is the more poisonous thing.

From my perspective, with enough time and attempts, it's straightforward enough to attempt to interact with people and realize that external rejection is no longer a thing. But if one becomes internally averse to face-to-face meetings at all, how does one even handle that?

Exactly. Its very difficult as I've had over a year by myself. All the stress from having conversations are now amplified and I guess the only answer I have is to just accept that a lot of people probably feels the same way
