Personally, I'm vaccinated and I feel pretty safe. I'd like to resume a more normal way of life. It's just that there's nothing happening. There's no office, no happy hour or hanging out after work. Very few dinner or coffee invitations. No meetups. No going out dancing. Just way less events in general.
> Going out unnecessary feels socially unacceptable.
Human beings are social creatures and it's normal that we have a need to see people and connect. The directive to self-isolate has been very detrimental for a lot of people's mental health. I'm privileged enough to have access to a therapist, but I feel like I'm kind of on the edge of depression, very apathetic about life.
I don't want to make this a political discussion, it's hard to balance self-sacrifice vs the greater good, but we've all sacrificed a lot considering this disease has killed about 6.2 people per ten thousand over the last 18 months, whereas about 200 people per ten thousand would have died otherwise. Are we going to keep this up for several more years? What's the impact on our society going to be?

- amznthrwaway 5y agoI don’t want to make this a personal attack, but go fuck yourself, you mentally weak, pathologically dishonest little piece of shit. There’s plenty to do if you want to go do it. Even in places with restrictions, there are tons of things to do. So quit whining, you absolutely worthless piece of dog shit.
