I just came out of over 4 weeks of loneliness with no real life face to face interaction at all because of lockdown. The only time I saw another human being was when I went to the grocery store, but they were strangers.

Last few days, I started experiencing the side effects of having no real life social interaction.

My throat was getting constrained, it felt I had many things to speak and everything is stuck in throat. It felt as if my throat was choking me. I was feeling very stressed. It brought the flashbacks of the time when I was seriously depressed. I couldn't really sleep last night

Today, I decided to visit my close relatives, the place where I grew up, the place I find as my heaven on earth and I feel so much better just being in the presence of people who know me, whom I know since I born.

I don't know if anyone here experienced similar feelings. I wanted to share it here.

    Whatever asocial characteristics I thought I had within me were proven wrong since last year

    I'm a social animal, too, though not as social as others. It is impossible to live alone without depending on others. Be it Food, Work, Entertainment or whatever else

    @asgs same here. I may be a loner and an introvert but working from home for over a year has shown me that even I need some level of social interaction just to function.
