One Introvert’s Social Distancing Experience

Posted on by

Social distancing has been awesome for me.

Not because of the terrible pandemic. Or the mass panic that has caused people to hoard items like toilet paper (which I don’t understand because it’s not *that* type of disease. Seriously, I don’t get it. As soon as Costco gets in a shipment of toilet paper, it’s gone again in like 10 minutes.)

Introverts Unite! … Separately In Your Own Homes

Posted on by

I am an introvert.

Most people don’t realize that about me. I have no problem meeting new people. I enjoy spending time with friends. I can talk to strangers.
