What is that?

I went out today with a small group of 4 first time since very long time (finally all vaccinated), one guy, 2 ladies whom I knew in an online community for some quite time and asked me to join them, it was the first time I meet them in person.

It was just a lunch outing of 2 hours, nothing special; they asked me a lot of questions, work, life, opinions… the usual. Nothing went wrong in the interactions.

I came back home feeling very very mentally exhausted, very strange feeling, like a mix of depression and tiredness, ruining the whole day - as if I am like I’ve lost my “social fitness” after a such long social isolation and that simple social interaction today was a big toll on my brain.


What …is that??

I guess you have to get used to going out and socializing again. Nothing serious.

I think a lot of people are feeling similarly.

I had a coffee with a friend last week for the first time since lockdown. I drank decaf but I felt like I was on double espressos. I was talking very fast, getting emotional and oversharing which I normally guard against fiercely. When I got home I fell asleep for a couple of hours. Just crashed out. It was weird.
