    plenty of introverts have always had this lifestyle, it’s not new at all and especially not a new covid related lifestyle

      There’s just more of us now, Covid caused a lot of trauma that has resulted in a lot of shut-ins. Remote work, instacart, Amazon prime, GrubHub, it’s easier than ever to never leave the comfort of your house. I’m betting there’s a subset of the population that hasn’t left their home in 3 years.

      I used to get antsy if I didn’t get out, see people, but it doesn’t bother me anymore.

        COVID really fucked me up. Going to the grocery store used to be a normal thing. Hell, going to the office was a normal thing. I did these normal things for decades!

        Now I’ll do about anything to avoid leaving the house and interacting with other humans. Outside is different deal!

          We haven’t begun to talk about it severe trauma that 2020 was for a lot of people. We turned the entire country into involuntary agoraphobiacs and told them they’d die if they didn’t comply. Then we blasted fear and anger into them for years.

          GenZ is just broken, they’ll never be ‘normal’ again. Millenials have checked out, Gen A is basically feral. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K my friend.
