    I really felt this almost sense of justice when extroverts were forced to quarantine and were getting cabin fever after like 3 days.

    Explaining to them that the discomfort they felt is what I felt every single day I had to go out into their world with all their eyes always looking at my face and making noises at me.

      See this is why I miss COVID. It was the perfect excuse to stay at home and do nothing, and when I did have to go out, the roads were clear and hardly anyone was around.

      Pisses me off so much that the extroverts had to ruin everything by bitching and moaning until government officials around the world caved and ended lockdown early.

      Bunch of selfish cunts. Literally got people killed over their strange desire to socialize. It’s beyond infuriating.

        Covid was a mixed blessing in that sense. Moving around and generally having much more privacy and space in public was great, but then the part of you that really dislikes change is faced with the glaringly obvious “this is not normal” public and facing the uncertainty of at least the immediate future.

        It is. And also how nature was really rapidly healing just because we reduced the number of people commuting by combustion engine… and then we just went back to how things were?? Like we didn’t even want to try and learn from it.

        COVID was a historic inflection point in so many many ways, and I fear that we’ve completely wasted it.

          But we must return to office because we need to socialize and our company is so eco-friendly it’ll force you to commute in your ICE vehicle.
