    I think it has effected me in mostly bad ways so far, but it’s difficult to 100% decouple that from the awkwardness stemming from the pandemic that coincides with it. I worked remotely before the pandemic hit, but the lack of “office” + the lack of any social venue outside of zoom calls for many months exacerbated things.

    Overall, I feel mostly these days like I’m going to have to get a hobby or a meetup or something going because even though I have a pretty low need for social interactions I’m finding myself barely scraping by these days.

      What do you mean by this? Just about all of my hobbies are solo ventures, but I have heard many good things about meetups and user groups

        I’m not a very social person but I find myself feeling like my social needs are barely being met nowadays.

          Ah I see. You have any interests? As you mentioned, hobbies are always a good place to start, even if they’re not strictly “social”. If anything it gives you something to talk about, and maybe find some common ground with the people you meet.

            Yeah, I’m into a bunch of different things. I had a friend group of sorts in this city but it frayed quite a bit during the pandemic and my wife and I are still kinda COVID weirdos (outdoor masklessness only, etc).

            It’ll be alright.
