This is me also. I was also isolated seeing only one other human for the entirety of COVID (including now, but I'm gonna move soon so I can at least go into a physical office). I feel like my brain still works at lots of stuff, once it gets going, but I forget what I'm doing randomly and I think I used to be not _THIS_ bad at interacting with other humans :/

Isolation is associated with much higher risk of serious health conditions: https://www.cdc.gov/aging/publications/features/lonely-older-adults.html https://www.cdc.gov/aging/publications/features/lonely-older... Humans are social animals. COVID response policy to encourage more physical isolation could have deadly implications.

Sadly their voices got shut out of the conversation; their proponents yelled at, called horrible names, etc. What society did over the last two and a half years is shameful. Society encouraged and cheered on what is basically mental illness.
