I can relate so bad. I hardly leave my house. I work from home. I still protect myself and my mom from COVID.

Add in the wars, riots, shootings, anger, and frustration that's on the rise around the world, even close by. It's scary. I would love to be among the world, but I'd rather stay in my bubble.

As an only child, I always felt like I was in survivor mode.

Yes! It's disheartening to know others feel the same way as I do, but it's also comforting. Thanks love ❤️

Oof, as a chronically ill person, I feel this! I also do not trust a single soul with my body, which is a sad way to live...with zero trust for anybody (including family and close friends). But, I've seen that everyone has moved on, so I have to stay isolated to protect myself. And I miss people, but I also am afraid of people and being in public. Partly due to COVID and the eugenics happening right now, but I also really fear a mass shooting. The prevalence of such events has definitely changed my brain. I also feel like the ongoing pandemic has completely changed me as a person. I don't relate to many friends and family members anymore due to my changing belief systems and lifestyle. My social life is greatly diminished (pretty much non-existent as well).

Thank you for sharing these thoughts - it helps me to not feel so alone, and I hope my sharing this makes you feel less alone!

TLDR: you are not alone! <3
