You can tell who the introverts and who the extroverts were during the pandemic. For those that got to stay at home:
Extroverts: "My mental health is crumbling! I'll never be the same after this. Literally the worst thing that's ever happened to me!"
Introverts: "I just beat a handful of games in my backlog, read 4 books, started learning how to make Chinese food at home, and I just started learning Spanish on Duolingo. I'll never be the same after this!"
I'm introverted but I also hated being trapped inside for months. Am I a freak?
Right? I don't know what those people are smoking but it's cool to be able to meet my friends a few times a month and grocery shop normally. Being stuck inside too long makes you go funny in the head.
Guess it depends on how strongly introverted you are. As a strong introvert, I absolutely enjoyed time spent at home; besides general lockdown, I've been through three of the strict 2-week isolations (twice as contact person, once as a COVID carrier), and those were amazing times!
I'm an introvert who was afraid to do things I wanted to do outside the house. You are not a freak.
