Since the start of the year we've all been sharing our stories and experiences dealing with the different way we're doing things due to the global pandemic.

I like to keep to myself, but I am very interested in my daily conversations with friends online. So I have been doing okay enough. There's actually other offline stress that really REALLY has been a bigger issue for me. Anyway, it's been 6+ months, and we're nearing the end of this terrible 2020. And I feel a bit different about it all now.

Covid is tough, you don't know who around you has it, recovers okay. And you fear for your friends and family. And there's isolation, social disconnect, social distancing, and the attitude of people around you seems to be different. It feels "weird", to say the least.

I notice a lot of people were clinging to attention in the first few months, and now it feels like everybody is even further away than usual. We're all trying to find a new normal I think. And I don't blame anybody for this, just saying that I notice it.

Don't forget, we're a community, it doesn't hurt to be part of something where you feel safe to say how you are, or ask others to just talk about other topics. Or play a game together, etc.

I think it's a time to get together and enjoy some hours of 'i am not alone', versus everybody going in all directions and feeling more estranged eventually. Sometimes a hello to someone can mean the world to them.
