Well, I can think of a bunch of situations that are a lot worse, so I'm still thankful for the ability to quarantine, but it doesn't really make things any easier to deal with. Solitude is like air to an introvert. It's hard to breathe without it.

So I live alone and am self-isolating alone. I tend to think everyone else has it better. Not so! For instance, I was talking with my son yesterday and things have been getting tense between him and his girlfriend. They are normally work-o-holics with different schedules. Now they are home together all the time. My son is worried about his new business. He just went on his own this year. So he isn't in the best of moods while his girlfriend would like, I think, more interaction, talking, cheerfulness etc. My son is an introvert, works alone, can spend a lot of time alone...while his girlfriend is an extrovert.
None of us have it that easy these days. But on the other hand I am starting to appreciate my solitude a bit more.
