Before the lockdowns I thought I was an introvert. Boy was I wrong.
- twodave 5y agoI thought I was an extrovert! Turns out anxiety can masquerade as extroversion.
- Graffur 5y agoWhat have you found out about yourself?
- notahacker 5y agoI'd say the opposite, more or less. Before the lockdown I lived in London with a flatmate, went into a sociable office regularly and voluntarily and spent a lot of time in bars. Had a lot more "alone time" when I travelled, but actively sought out company the whole time. 18 months later, I'm living on my own for longer than I ever have before, in a boat travelling through relatively rural locations a long way from London or people I know, and the notion of going out to socialise and having full time work gigs is something in the past, and it's.... fine. Haven't felt the need to overcompensate with catchup calls and messages, will be quite happy taking on projects or a next job with fewer meetings, have seen some friends since but no need to force the issue, because that's the way things are and there are other things to do . Though I might have to find something resembling a crowd for the coming World Cup Final :)
