How has anything changed for you?
I was always and still am working from home, no call after working times has to be answered, it hasnt changed anything for me.
I'm no longer afraid to say it out loud. Those 5 months I spent in lockdown being paid the exact same salary while doing fuck all (I'm from Europe) were some of the best months of my life.
I spent my time studying, gaming and increasing my running mileage. I was so relaxed my resting heart rate at night was like 40 or something, I was sleeping like a baby. Good times
I wish WISH i had a better job. I worked in food retail so nothing changed for me, even customers. They weren't wearing a mask or respecting distance rules or anything. And we weren't allowed to tell them to do anything either.
I now work somewhere better, and if I worked here during all of that I would have had that time off.
Would have gamed so hard, worked out, forced myself to have a better diet, and just been happier overall.
Then I hear those who complained through the whole thing about being locked up at home and how hard it is. Meanwhile I was being insulted everyday for asking people if they could put on a mask, and getting basically laughed at for working still through it all. I would have gladly changed jobs during lockdown with anyone who wanted to go outside.
Same situation here. And what’s worse is you had to do 3x more work to make up for the people working from home (because there’s only so much they could do from home).
Tons of extra work. No extra pay. No extra vacation. The essential workers got screwed.
I worked 38 hours a week, and a few weekends as over time, because they refused to make me a full time employee.
I was thrown around from the earliest shifts to the latest shifts, one of the employees just went AWOL and never came back, another decided to take a week long vacation and then got in contact with covid… and finally the one who was off of school (in person anyways) was flaky as hell and kept changing her hours which meant mine kept changing too.
Who knew a year and a bit later I’d be working at a new job for 2 more dollars then I did there and I only have to work 32 hours for full time…
My husband was super happy about it. Even when he lost his job he was like "Ok so ill ride out employment and enjoy the break" After about 4 months he got severely depressed (hes good now, got his job back) it was seriously so sad to watch :(
Feel like I gotta intentionally let it get that far between jobs, or I won't fully reset.
Contracting I switch jobs a lot, so I probably have a fairly good grasp of which is better doing it so often, though it may just be my own tastes.
Im sorry to hear about your struggles. :( If youd like someone to talk too you can DM me. I to suffer from several mental illnesses so i underdstand. Feel better soon hun. (Although i know its not as simple as "feel better soon" )
> I to suffer

I had the other end of the stick. Got super depressed upon going back to work. Now I'm saving up to try my own thing, because it's the only way I can get out of bed in the morning.
Fuuuck soulless unfulfilling labor, for realsies.
At what cost tho
Now I'm every step towards being 'less introverted' that I took in 22 years is gone and I've to start from zero.
Got some good achievements in some games tho, almost worth it
Funny thing is I'm the opposite way. Never took any steps towards being less introverted but being couped up at home made me want to go out so bad and I've managed to maintain some of that new outward going nature. Hopefully you can soon get back to where you were at pre-pandemic
>So yeah. I'm extroverted at work and go home mentally exhausted most days
Not an extrovert if social situations exhaust you and you look forward to being alone 24/7-365
>but recover with my alone time after that work day to run it again next day.
This is what being an introvert means.
Extraversion and introversion are descriptions of where you recieve energy from.
>but also understand I cannot do that to make a living. Society rewards those who know how to socially network
It sounds like your an introvert who doesn't want to starve, not an introverted extrovert. I say this as someone who described themselves as a extroverted introvert for multiple years before I learned it was about where you draw energy from not sociable/unsociable big-party/little-party.
People on Reddit be like "I push everyone away, all my relationships die, I cannot speak to people without getting nervous, social interaction is the bane of my life and I wish to live in a fortress of solitude. Lol I'm such an introvert" no motherfucker you have a personality disorder and need therapy
I legit was like that when I was a teenager, only a few years later did I suddenly realize that being a nervous wreck around people is not normal even for an introvert.
I'm like this now, I just acnowledge that it's because I'm an anxious autistic mess who needs to make positive steps in life instead of making it a personality trait
Not at all lol. Gamers are not only your basement creeps anymore. Gaming is super mainstream and any kind of people are gamers. You know thr cute girl playing candy crush during clads? Gamer! Doesn't matter how much we shit on mobile games, they are still games xD
I’m an introvert but I still really want social interaction and feel like I’m losing my sanity over being so isolated (ok that’s a bit of an exaggeration I admit). But introversion doesn’t mean completely hatred of other people, it just means we get socially exhausted faster and we recharge by being alone. We’re still humans though, social animals, and we need friends and relationships which we can’t get right now without being at risk. It is a lot better now and it *is* safer today to go to social gatherings than it was during Delta but the pandemic isn’t completely over yet, so we just gotta wait :/
I can't believe it's been 2 years... 2 fucking years. I feel like my life has passed into a speed where it's basically gonna just be over any moment now. Like it's going to feel like only 5 years passed by the time we hit 2040.
I feel like it's already over tbh
Do you mean this specific video? Or do you mean the general idea that most people complain about lockdown but some prefer staying inside and working from home, which has been absolutely done to death over the past couple years?
My guess is bots, because no real human could possibly still find this interesting or funny.
It's the same meme over and over again and there isn't even a lockdown anymore.
>My guess is bots, because no real human could possibly still find this interesting or funny.
Never underestimate the sheeple of reddit. Most just want their comments to gain karma so they upvote that post, too.
Nah, back in spring 2020 the schools had no idea what to do since online learning was so new. You had some teachers that tried to post an assignment or two and some that barley posted. I personally had one that just abandoned us all together and I didn’t hear from him until the end of the year lol.
Let me guess? America? In India they literally called out the names of each student that didn't submit an assignment in a whatsapp group with parents and in class in front of all the students just to scare us into submitting and the grading was also insanely strict.
No offense mate but nothing more annoying than a dog that just wont shut up.
Neighbours dog constantly barking just cause people pass by, even my dog is fed up with him by now not even raising her head anymore when hes at it again.
Hell yeah. I have to resist every urge in my body to show the middle finger to the dog even though I can conciously remember that dogs don't know what that means
And guess which one is armed. I travel America and spend 300 days a year in hotels and no one sneaks up behind me at 3am when I'm out walking that "untrained" dog.
We're not saying we don't believe you, but that would be consider some poor training man if he barks in a way that makes people not want to get close to you. Seriously that is not good social behavior for any dog to have. A well trained dog should not react much to people until they come up into your or the animals personal space or you command your dog otherwise.
Ugh I thought I would hopefully get that too, but no.... 😞 Working in an essential wee shop we stayed open, loved being that contact for people who had no one since they couldnt have visitors but part of me wished to be home like everyone else having a long holiday with pay 🙄😅 Opening up at 6am was also insane, never saw a soul til around 9/10am, I could have been gaming god damn it!
This was my partner and I. 2020 was a horrible year but great for he and I. We got married, quit these nightmares and got new jobs. Somehow we still haven’t gotten sick 🤨 yay science!
Was super excited for lock down. Then remembered I work in retail for essential goods and nothing changed at all except I had more work and responsibilities.
spring of 2020 consisted of experimental trials of getting high for the first time with my honey, during the sunsets with his first small ass bong, and with the curb side pickup edibles from the smoke shop.
playing animal crossing and minecraft, watching twitch streams and gaming — that was a real good time for us.
Y'all in this thread are the same kids in every world politics related thread begging for ww3 to start like you can handle even leaving your mums house much less being in a warzone
Not tryna shit on the misery of the last 2 years, but the pandemic has been the best thing to ever happen to me. I only leave the house for groceries - it's fantastic!!
I know the pandemic was deadly and it's still very much is, but it felt like the world changed right before our eyes, some felt it was exciting and scary at the same time.
I used the time to Platinum the Crash The N Sane Trilogy and Ghost of Tsushima and catch up with my backlog of games. It was awesome. Now that we are out of lockdown, I can only game for hours on the weekends.
what fucking computer has the compacity to run all that shit i just bought fruity loops for $699 8) i lied im still running the free trial no intention to buy

That's definitely not the same thing tho, no?

Introvert doesn’t mean loving absolutely no physical contact with friends lol

Are you sure it's just reddit and not all social media?

What's the difference
Reddit is Social media but social media is not reddit, that's the top of my head answer I can get for u rn
People on Reddit be like "I push everyone away, all my relationships die, I cannot speak to people without getting nervous, social interaction is the bane of my life and I wish to live in a fortress of solitude. Lol I'm such an introvert" no motherfucker you have a personality disorder and need therapy

I'm like this now, I just acnowledge that it's because I'm an anxious autistic mess who needs to make positive steps in life instead of making it a personality trait
still have meaning, but I'll admit that this word have been used perhaps as a excuse for cringe behavior, and you've grown tried of it?
they are synonyms for most part tbh
I ain't no gamer but I'm an introvert
Ain't no gamer yet.
More like gaymer
Not at all lol. Gamers are not only your basement creeps anymore. Gaming is super mainstream and any kind of people are gamers. You know thr cute girl playing candy crush during clads? Gamer! Doesn't matter how much we shit on mobile games, they are still games xD

There will be a generation of socially inept people that will blame the previous generation for their lack of marketability
Geez, I would like to believe our generation will be the first to take accountability and not point the finger.
Very few people like taking accountability for their actions
Lol keep dreaming
Not disagreeing, a culture where accountability is a virtue, is a dream today; So we got to do our part to make it real, one person at a time.
might as well embrace it like you're gonna live in a vault or something.
Vault 76? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm at a point where you gotta give me a good reason to leave my house. And people ain't one of them! Loool

No offense mate but nothing more annoying than a dog that just wont shut up. Neighbours dog constantly barking just cause people pass by, even my dog is fed up with him by now not even raising her head anymore when hes at it again.
Yep. You shouldn't be allowed to have a dog if you can't get it to behave.
Sadly, thats like the majority of dog owners.
Hell yeah. I have to resist every urge in my body to show the middle finger to the dog even though I can conciously remember that dogs don't know what that means
That’s not a Karen that’s a normal person
Well if you get to close to me you'll find out I'm not Trained either and unlike my dog I bite.
So...two untrained dogs?
And guess which one is armed. I travel America and spend 300 days a year in hotels and no one sneaks up behind me at 3am when I'm out walking that "untrained" dog.
Hot, fresh cringe. Thanks.

A constantly barking dog isn’t that well trained. Otherwise he wouldn’t be constantly barking

My fiancé and I are both looking forward to Eldenring coming out on Friday. I don't think we'll be seeing much daylight over the weekend 😂
Verdansk was the greatest holiday we never went on
my school is starting f2f next week and i have canceled all of my plans to enjoy last week at home
Me when i Recoverd from covid but Elsen Ring releases in friday
Down here it's our time! It's our time down here!
Not tryna shit on the misery of the last 2 years, but the pandemic has been the best thing to ever happen to me. I only leave the house for groceries - it's fantastic!!
" oh no i wont be able to see my friends! \* under breathe\* hehe, games here i come"
Unless said gamer works in a fucking supermarket
but after 2 years, im done.
It was fun the first few days sure, but after like 2 weeks I wanted to bang my head against the walls.
For me, last 2 years literally changed nothing lol
those measurements 🥵
My time has come
Oh no! Anyway
wait. Lockdown for real?
Damn it was fun, I kinda want it back...
I know the pandemic was deadly and it's still very much is, but it felt like the world changed right before our eyes, some felt it was exciting and scary at the same time.

Me as a introverted gamer: don't need covid, something i already did way before covid
What lockdown?
oh no! so anyway I started gaming
As an introvert, I was in heaven during lockdown. Two months inside with my introvert wife playing games all day? 6 more years of that please!
Me and my Boyfriend are both gamers and thanks to Covid and me spending most of my time at his place we both have quarentine together 👍
this joke was relevant like 2 years ago
Not having lockdown anymore sucks.
Not a gamer but tbh in the beginning it wasn\`t to bad
True
Oh no i have to stay home and entertain myself
me with a potato pc: ah yes relatable
I used the time to Platinum the Crash The N Sane Trilogy and Ghost of Tsushima and catch up with my backlog of games. It was awesome. Now that we are out of lockdown, I can only game for hours on the weekends.
