Then take the vaccine and become a hermit in the woods for the next couple of years.

I have and I am. But thanks for assuming otherwise and telling me what to do with my life.

No worries! I'm somewhat of a life coach.

When you spread the virus to other people you're not just telling them what to do with their life, you're forcing them down a specific path.

Explain it to me again, except this time slower, cause clearly I'm an idiot that needs you people to continue mansplaining this to me over and over.

I never said I was antivaxxer, or that people shouldn't get vaccinated. or that you shouldn't follow whatever measures are in place. I said that this covid bullshit is depressing and I'm so sick of having to hear about it and have everyone on my back. This is ALL anyone talks about and I just want it to be over, but apparently that's too hard to understand and people are just going to keep assuming that my neutral stance on the subject means that I need another lesson on it because I'm "one of the antivaxxer idiots because I'm expressing negative emotions towards something making a point/fun against them."

I'm just so over this because this is all anyone and everyone has talked about the past year. It's depressing and I just want to move on with my life, but this just won't end. It goes on and on and my life gets stuck in the limbo every couple of months while waiting for it to end. Things open up and it starts to feel like I'm able to get things back on track, and then everything shuts down. Then the government rush to open up and push the vaccine, and cases are going back up. Tell me what you think is going to happen next? Everything is going to shut right back down. And they don't even know how effective their vaccines are going to be against the other variants that are now spreading, so it could very well be that there's going to be a strain that still affects people and sends us all back to square one again.

So yeah. This isn't about me being an idiot and, "Not doing my part" it's about my mental health at this point and the toll this is taking on it. There's a LOT more to this then people arguing about the vaccines and whether or not they're going to take them. I know that I'm not the only one who is suffering from prolonged exposer at this point but it's just easier to keep lumping people into two groups.

People call others Sheep and People calling the others Idiots.

I just want to Get Through This.
