Quarantine Made Me An Extrovert
All it took was social isolation for an Introvert to turn into an Extrovert.
The quarantine has lasted more than any of us could have anticipated.
Even though the first month was a source of relaxation for most of us, presenting itself a long weekend — or an early summer break.
But at this point, we are like the kid during the last few days of his summer break agitated and desperate to go back to school to meet his friends. In summary, we all are way past our summer break.
3 months in the quarantine, I am not sure if I am lonely or just bored?
According to Wikipedia, The definition of Loneliness is:
Loneliness is an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation. Loneliness is also described as social pain — a psychological mechanism that motivates individuals to seek social connections.
While that of Boredom is:
Boredom is a condition characterized by the perception of one’s environment as dull, tedious, and lacking in stimulation. This can result from leisure and a lack of aesthetic interests.
