The pandemic has made me more antisocial than ever

The pandemic has made me more antisocial than ever. Over the last seven years I have been blessed with jobs that I could work from home and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I seriously can’t see myself working in person ever again just because work from home life has allowed me to take so much better care of myself both physically and mentally because of the extra time and also save so much money in the process.

Before the pandemic, I got used to only hang around people that I want to when I want to because I was blessed with the choice to do so.

The pandemic era has made my already antisocial tendencies even worse. Seriously, I could spend about two weeks in my house and not think anything of it. Fresh air? Nope I like my air nice and conditioned especially in the hot Florida heat. Anyways, don’t get me wrong there are times where I could go to brunch or to the movies or to the club or to a drag show but I want to go home immediately. I’m no longer the girl that goes to everything hot and poppin and honestly I want to be that girl again because I don’t want to look back and say that I wish that I used my younger years to have more fun. I’ve already lost about 2 1/2 of them due to this pandemic! I could also tell that my friends miss having me out with them.

I think my problem is that I literally don’t want to get dressed because it’s such a process from hair to make up to putting on an outfit and regular clothes it feels like torture. I also think that the thought of being around even one person I can’t stand or really don’t know like that makes me automatically say no to things that I should be saying yes to. How do I come out of this funk? Because there is so much life to live but I’m happy here in an 800 square-foot overpriced box.
