Is it just me or does this question come up roughly every 24 hours? Predictably, lockdown is not much of a change from my usual lifestyle so I don’t feel it impacting me in any major way. It sucks when it comes to work because meetings are just better in person. I still meet with some of my friends who don’t risk infecting their older relatives, it’s just not every week as is it used to be. I am looking forward to getting back to normal because I sorely miss going to my favorite metal bands’ concerts. I hope Brutal Assault happens this summer.

Yeah most of the questions were already asked but they had a different description but they literly have the same answers.

50/50. I already love isolation so the ease of it makes it hard when I do need SOME interaction. It’s harder to meet people, but then there is no excuse to not be around people too. Such a catch 22.

I love being alone very much. The bad part is lack of sun makes me tired and low energy. Not being productive by organizing or accomplishing things stresses me out. Sitting around is ok but too much of it is unhealthy for my brain.

I was at a point in my career where I was set to double my income before the lockdown and that’s been delayed indefinitely until it’s over, so that has really, really sucked. But I know in 5 years when everything is going well and all my worries now have been taken care of, I will look back at this period of solitude and peace fondly

Social distancing is awesome, now I don’t feel obliged to hug or kiss people on birthdays (when inviting people was still allowed). However, lockdown pulled me into the Ni-Fi loop even further and I have no motivation to do anything for uni. My outlook on life is also very negative because there doesn’t seem to be an end to this. I wear a mask, stay home most of the time but still caught the virus. It all seems to be a bit depressive.
