This put me in a bad mood. Before lockdown I could go out to a lot of places...like everyone else...and interact. I regularly went to the library, church, volunteering, recreation center, bookstores, etc. etc. So having to depend on emails and texts as a way of communicating has gotten old. People don't call as much. I really wish they would. All the texts are beginning to strike me as really superficial.
I know that EVERYONE wants their old life back. To those who are young, and youngish...you will get it back I am certain. But for older folks who knows what things will be like? I am tired of Facebook, Instagram, emails, and texts.
Sorry, sorry, sorry!!! I am sorry for complaining. I need to figure out a new kind of life. This one is not working, and this as the "new normal" is not going to work. I am sure everyone is feeling the same way.
As well I have financial problems, and health problems, and I guess I was feeling overwhelmed when I started this thread. I am really sorry.
But if you do know of someone who is isolating alone maybe call them on the phone or send them a note. I am certain it would make their day.  |
No need to be sorry. In fact, I have personally liked a whole lot of what you have been putting down. It has touched me a lot.
I feel the same; never ending isolation. I loved your idea of
'contacting people if you know that they are alone'. I would like to do that myself; but it seems like I don't know anyone who is alone like I am. It would be nice if that message got out and people acted on it. It would be nice to get a note from someone asking me how I'm doing.
I live in an small apartment complex, and are in close quarters. I feel just as lonely as if I lived out in the boonies with no neighbors around. The people are OK but it's hard connecting. They seem to have their own little groups to hang with, so I feel like I'm not needed.
Before this pandemic happened, I felt isolated. But now I feel more that way. At least before this thing happened, there were some distant hope it can get better. For now, that hope is just gone.
Best to you.
