I relate to zoiecat in how I feel, yet I'm not sure that has translated to the social isolation being good for me. I think it has increased my dread of socializing or simply leaving my house because I've become so unused to doing so. I guess it's a bit similar to exercising. I do not enjoy exercising, and if I haven't been exercising, it is much harder to work myself up to doing so and to tolerate the things I don't like about it (like being hot, sweaty, hating my body, etc.). If I exercise regularly, I am more accustomed to those things and it feels less overwhelming.
