And mask use when sick
5amNonsense
As an introvert... I've found work that involves almost no human interaction and I haven't seen my friends in about a year. I hate this.
ayokenzobenzo
Im an introvert. My girlfriend works from home now. This has been a challenging year.
smuggledmuggle
Same
itsjustabeaver
As an extrovert, i’m fucking dying.
sweetnaivety
now you know how us introverts have felt for the past 100 years
rosshell2718
Here here! Hear hear? Whatever. I agree.

theSungamer
As an introvert I sure hope the fuck it does. I miss being physically together with my friends.
whatifitwasnevertrue
Me neither people smell much less and I don't worry about how I smell.
doesntmatter
That's not introversion, that's lack of hygiene
texasfoodman
Who wants, to wfh, forevaaarrrr

pinatafarmer
ppl will understand if you're upfront. Just smile, be polite, and say "There isn't a school or animal shelter within 300 feet, is there?"
pinatafarmer
Boom, they'll distance. And if they don't, run, that's a serial killer.
applesforjuice
As an introvert, stop giving us a bad name. They already think we're socially awkward idiots and socialization is healthy for everyone.
Tivec
I’m Scandinavian, I just want this 2 meter rule to end so we can go back to or standard 10 meters..
PotatoGunnaPotate
I’m with you... I really don’t want to go back to kissing on the cheek/hugging to say hello and goodbye
reddeadqueen
Lol
reddeadqueen
ILoveCatsTooMuch
Social distancing made me realize I might not be as introverted as i thought.
doesntmatter
No, you're probably still an introvert. Just an actual introvert instead of one of all these people who ascribe their social phobias and 1/
doesntmatter
other separate issues to "introversion". 2/2
RelaxYourself
My whole situation got a whole lot better cause of Covid. I know people are suffering and I do empathize..but for now...weeeeee!
reddeadqueen
idiotcube
I'm so much happier now that I don't have to go to the office every day, and I feel like I'm considerably more productive as well!
indrindri
I wish I could say I’m more productive at home, but that is just not the case. Too much stuff at home to focus on
reddeadqueen
Velonici
You probably are. Most studies show an increase of about 15%.
Kagenical
No I've basically been out of work since the first wave, just needs to fucking end. I'm going crazy. I think I saw four people last year.
reddeadqueen
Kagenical
Oh I just realized this was about "social distancing" - yeah, that shit can stay. 6 feet please.
HalstenTorqThorkelson
I'm an introvert who likes hugs. Is not liking physical contact a common introvert thing?
AutumnalDreams
Nope. There is barely no complete introvert or extrovert, people may lean more towards one side versus the other, but it's all a spectrum.
doesntmatter
No. People call all kinds of shit introversion these days but strictly speaking an aversion to touch has nothing to do with it.
reddeadqueen
I love hugs being an introvert means you like being by yourself or family just staying in and being content. Chilling at home. No friends ?
HalstenTorqThorkelson
Sure, but you said you liked all the social distancing, which I thought meant hugging, kissing, shaking hands etc.
A1ekazam
I am dreading Goin back... I'm working from home and thriving. This is their temporary hell but my temporary normal.
reddeadqueen
Phobetor42
I'll be honest much of how how I live day to day didn't change too much. I do miss going out to restaurants even if it was just by myself.
GenericEric
Same. I would like to go to the movies again. Not sure I want to be near people though
reddeadqueen
Slytherwin
Can we please never go back to random people I'm not friends with just hugging me?
sweetnaivety
I don't like strangers touching me, can we get rid of handshakes forever too?
reddeadqueen
Qe5rt
That doesn't happen here. I'm even a bit weirded out that it happens somewhere.
BeesKneesJohanson
I mean, I lean more towards being introverted. But it’s getting to me. The days are blurring together.
reddeadqueen
Sometimes it does suck, but I'd rather be home and safe then get sick. I'm sorry it's getting to you, air hugs ?
BeesKneesJohanson
Thanks, much appreciated :)
v
strideo
Same. I like alone time & I need to be alone in my own head but being an introvert doesn't mean I'm fine with never socializing with friends
mjangelvortex
Exactly that. I'm an introvert too and while I enjoy the quiet time, I miss seeing people's faces. I miss seeing people smile. Makes me sad.
HesNoJedi
You’re in luck! It gonna be a while.
reddeadqueen
HesNoJedi
Also, same.
reddeadqueen
Mostlydeadpool
I, too, am enjoying working from home. having comfypants(tm) as a work outfit is nice too.
MeMyselfandyourCat
Some parts of society should change. Even after the pandemic subsides.
reddeadqueen
Mostlydeadpool
on one hand, I hope things "go back to normal" (wtf that means) soon so people can work again but on the other hand, I'm in no hurry >
reddeadqueen
Same, no hurries it's nice staying home but to me it wears me out sometimes ??
Mostlydeadpool
> to do all the stupid work stuff that you need to do to work (commutes, traffic, pants, you know the usual)
reddeadqueen
bowzerdroolz
As a lazy, introvert with social anxiety, super same. I miss a few people only.. but being home all the time by myself is great!
reddeadqueen
bowzerdroolz
reddeadqueen
I agree 100% I used to be social but I hate it now have for sometime now. Adulting sucks the life out of you lol
bowzerdroolz
Yep! All I need is my bed and my animals.
reddeadqueen
My couch and tv/xbox lol
roxisasewingmachine
Me too. I'm enjoying freedom from plans and obligations every weekend
m4dm4n
I'm suffering from the same old things as before: either too much to do, so I miss my friends; or not enough to do, so I miss my friends. :(
Katerfly
Right!? There’s so much more time now
m4dm4n
I was going to read all those books, but then I immediately broke my only pair of glasses. :/
Dellaaa
Oh that episode sucked!
CanIGetSomeExtraSalt
i hope we can keep the nice spacing at the grocery store check outs and other lines
goodbicycle
Yes! One of the best byproducts of covid. Keep it up!
BishopBB
Won't happen. Stores want to make as much profit as possible. More product=more profit = less space.
adiving
Those have been gone for months now here (no they shouldn't be). The only difference between now and normal, is the required shopping cart.
anotherrepost
Ppl can't even keep it now (during a "Tier 5" lockdown here in London UK)
DontLookAtMeInThatToneOfVoicee
I had a guy practically breathing down my neck yesterday in the queue. I asked him to step away and he told me to fuck off. The irony...
AdultPersistentAngst
Happened to me a few months ago. Dude was so close I said to him "man, back off. You're so close, I can smell your breath." Guy flipped out.
AdultPersistentAngst
Haven't had my fucking ankle assaulted by some careless cart pusher in over a year. Not a complaint.
CanIGetSomeExtraSalt
2/2 .. Al Bundy figured this out years ago for us
CanIGetSomeExtraSalt
you need to assert dominance and shove back harder ... adding a sharpened blade to the front helps as well
BenderRodriguz1010
Who runs barter town?
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
Idk, there are assholes like my ex that cut in to any space they see
scroobiusgav
They'd get a punch in the nose where i'm from.
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
I hope that happens
CanIGetSomeExtraSalt
that's why they're your ex
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
There are a lot of reasons why she's my ex, red flags look fine with rose tinted glasses
headlessness
What nice shops have you been going to? I’m surrounded by English people and for the most part they don’t recognise social distancing.
ImKindaLikeBatman
Yup. Actively swerving out of the way of people diving into the shelves to get their rice krispies before I do has become a sport.
ImKindaLikeBatman
Aldi doesn't help the fact by putting their giant arse pallet and boxes in the middle of the asile at what always seems like rush hour
headlessness
Aldi was actually the best one at the start in March limiting numbers of people in the shops but since then it’s been awful.
lwoshea
Also - I fucking love masks! I have some serious dental problems, but now I can talk and laugh and smile in public without being embarassed!
27zipperski
As someone who has a hard time reading people's faces I can't stand them. I'm honestly terrified that they might become the norm.
hungrybookworm
and it also hides pimples!
27zipperski
As someone who has a hard time reading faces, I hate them. I'm honestly terrified about what I'll do if they become permanently commonplace.
lwoshea
I think masks will eventually go away in the next 6 months or so as the vaccinations roll out. But I might just keep wearing mine.
27zipperski
Seriously think of people in my position at least.
lwoshea
ditto
BingusAndTheWeebs
I've trained my whole life for this
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
There has to be a webcomic with people freaking out not being able to go to bars, etc... and an introvert loving the time spent inside
reddeadqueen
Blackcat85
Same . 6 feet is great esp since I’m not dead yet .
Inarticulated
blackmar
Everyone at worked laughed when i would refuse a hug, WHOS LAUGHING NOW! Still not me cause these are sad times.
BenderRodriguz1010
Fzoid
Who the heck tried to hug you at work? I hug my family and closest friends.. that's it.
CaptainCanadiann
Some people have looser boundaries at work. Im with you though bro
ImportantLAMP
also as an introvert i think this social distancing needs to end. i think getting used to this might me more dangerous in the long run pt 1
ImportantLAMP
for my mental ability to adjust back to be being social again. It was tough before the pandemic, i can't imagine how much more diff pt. 2
ImportantLAMP
difficult it will be when im thrown back into normal society. My mannerisms are currently set for no audience, with an audience pt 3
ImportantLAMP
with an audience, i'll admit im afraid once again. when i thought i was just getting the hang of it. i don't want to start over again.
ThatsGrimKraken
Also introverted. my first interaction outside of quarantine was so awkward and horrid, I hated it so much. Made a new years resolution 1/2
Quiet0ctopus
I'm never not wearing mask in public again. And maybe always asking people to stay away from me.
m4dm4n
selej
Im so happy not to have a cold for the first winter in my life i can remember.
lolseabass
i have not had boogers from being outside or sneezed in months! i'm happy about the mask thing for people with allergies.
Andbrie86
Seriously, It's amazing. Allergies aren't nearly as bad. And no major cold and or flu in the last year. I work with the public, masks work,
philipinoraven
This is the best I’ve felt health wise in years!
SleepIsNotMyFriend
It's a nice fashion accessory as well. Especially for folks like me with a not so pretty face, haha. I made myself sad
sinskas
Don’t be sad! I use my mask to express myself. My favorites are my sugar skull mask and the one with big red lips (semi-sexy).
reddeadqueen
SatanWAP6669
I can’t believe people would walk around sick, sneezing, and coughing without a mask before. Disgusting.
RussianBotAccount3000
Cant believe?? Some of them have public meltdowns despite being the only one in a square mile of humans not doing it
RussianBotAccount3000
Oh And Have you seen rudy giuliani speak? I can believe it. Humanity is not that bright
lolseabass
how many times have you walked by or stood close to someone who had the flu then feel that icky feeling in the back of your throat.
SatanWAP6669
Too many
reddeadqueen
Same, even when this is all over I am still wearing a mask. I ask people politely to move away from me but it doesn't work. ?
fordon
Have you tried to move away from people instead or doesn’t that option work?
sinskas
Have you tried coughing violently?
Quiet0ctopus
Like a charm
fiddlemyhiddle
Works every time.
reddeadqueen
Lol no maybe I should try that ?
sinskas
I am finding new ways to amuse myself. I thought of this when I was told I didn’t need to wear a mask while pumping gas, he got too close.
VoidofStatic
I want to hear this story
