In reply to the discussion: You never realize how anti-social you are until there's a pandemic... [View all]Wounded Bear
(64,547 posts)13. I'm basically a hermit myself so I know what you mean.
Yeah, some things have changed, and I wear a mask when I go out. I'm running out of gloves. Have some on order, but who knows when that happens? I have a few left that I wear when I go to the grocery store, but like I said, running low. I don't want to run out because I like to use them when I need some Ben-Gay on sore muscles.
Missing my weekly breakfast rounds with my bro and nephew. We did one take out in the parking lot version, but haven't repeated. Our standard restaurant we go to is probably one of those that won't survive. It's an old school diner, and mostly only us old folks go there.
So, yeah, no huge changes so far, and I'm as healthy as can be expected for a 67 year old with a weight problem and Type 2 Diabetes.

The best thing is no one is bothering me. No one shows up at the door, no obligatory social function

I hate to admit it, but I have kind of been slacking off on the personal hygeine lately.

One could make the argument asociality is distinct from but not mutually exclusive to anti-social
