My wife and I like to joke about how introverted we are, but honestly, it's a lot easier to joke about isolation when you're living with someone else. If you're single and living alone now, I bet it doesn't take long for anyone, introverted or not, to get depressed.

Since natural, "out-and-about" social frictions aren't taking place, I think for many, and introverts especially, Zoom, et al. isn't going to cut it. Society has already shifted from voice calls to persistent messaging. This [Covid] is probably the final nail in the coffin.

Even now, in isolation, we're reluctant to call on friends for that more "physical" presence we'd like. Somehow cold-calling is anathema to our psyche, even though we are sure the body on the other end is thumbing restlessly on their device. Scheduling friends seems transnational
