Did any other introverts discovered that they're not as introverted as they thought they were during this pandemic? I got a pretty harsh awakening about 2 weeks into shelter in place. At the beginning I thought I would excel at this and even joke this is time for "introvert flexing". Two weeks in, I found myself anxious and kind of miserable. What I've never realized and always took for granted is how much social interaction I had with my coworkers and how those interactions help to lower my anxiety and stress. A joke here and there, etc. throughout the day really helped. I've gone back to running every day to deal with the anxiety and stress and really miss seeing my coworkers.
So I'm not so sure the office is dead. As someone else pointed out, this might be true for some people but we may still need office space for the other portion of the population.
- arkadiytehgraet 6y agoI did not consider myself introvert until the pandemic. I have not had real human contact in more than 2 months, other than some audio-only standups and stuff + I live completely alone. I feel not that different compared to when I interacted with others on a daily basis, if anything, I would actually prefer to have even less contact with people.
