I'm jealous of people who manage to have an almost normal life. I live in a constant latent distress who might be devastating me. My 1 year old daughter had a good time by being with her parents 100% of her time but I'm very concerned about her future, both health and mental wise as she will soon need to make friends and have a social life.
I try not to go out and when I do I avoid crowded places and keep far from people without a mask even when outside. I'm sure I'm transmitting my distress to my family. Furthermore, the feeling that my behaviour is not understood and judged extreme by people around me, including colleagues and relatives and maybe my wife, is making me feel more isolated.
I think that this only happens to the western world, where people misunderstood freedom for something else. I have recently been to South Korea and I felt much more at ease there, as for example not wearing a mask in public is considered socially deplorable and you might be reprimanded by other people.
This might be the first time I stated it explicitly, but I think that though not having been infected yet, probably my life got ruined irreversibly.
- gotaran 4y agoIt seems like you flew to South Korea recently? So you haven’t been a complete shut in. Also, Omicron spread like wildfire there too, despite South Korea being one of the few countries where people wear not just surgical masks but high quality KF-94 respirators.
- pb060 4y agoNo it wasn't a complete shut in, and I consider getting on an airplane a major achievement. Re Omicron, my simplistic explanation is that its spread is mainly caused by people eating in restaurants. At least irrationally I felt protected by everyone wearing high quality masks.
- elviejo 4y ago> my life got ruined irreversibly. Not yet, we humans are resilient creatures. I'm pretty sure you can rebound from this. Maybe you can try to find psicological help, to help you deal with this problem. Best of luck
