I think it is very hard on those who live alone. My T has his wife, he and his neighbors have talked from a distance, he and his wife have been doing video chats with friends they usually get together with and there have been several paths of communication with the kids. So... while staying safe and to himself he has maintained about as much of a social life as one could hope. He is still struggling. He has a family member that got it, another family member in a care facility where there was a big outbreak, anyone with “kids” or elderly family members are worried... so yeh, he has aged a lot this past year, he is tired, he is no where near his usual optimistic and bubbly self even though he tries. I also wonder if friends and family don’t emotionally “dump” on him more because he is a T.
I would ask your T or mention it. I know my T is more open about that stuff than most but I can see a T objecting to someone politely asking.
