BACK to Calling for Stories - Loneliness in Early Adulthood

Effects of Covid and Iso

The Idea

For me, I am still feeling the effects of covid and iso in my personal relationships. As someone who not only dislikes communicating online or via text, etc., but also gets a lot of anxiety from doing so (especially when attempting to initiate contact) a lot of my personal relationships were damaged or severed as a consequence of not being able to see people. The loneliness I feel from this only increased after lockdown(s) ended because I felt I had to catch up on both uni and my professional life which left little to no time to meet new people or see existing friends. The relationships I have maintained feel surface-level and I feel sad that I’ve damaged my relationships with friends.
You feel strongly about this idea!
