I agree about being comfortable with occasional silences - to me it’s a sign of being at ease but some people can’t bear it and they jump to fill it. Often my brain is still processing stuff already said.

In that aspect, yes I've become more socially withdrawn too. I started withdrawing after I learned some pretty painful lessons and of course Covid didn't help, I would never reject a friendship with someone else though.
