I have a vast social life. I’m into almost a lot of groups and on several a board, but lately I’ve been tired and exhausted. So I slowed down for a bit.. I Still handle a lot from home. Pandemic changed a lot of my world and things did get easier from it. I don’t really pay close attention to the virus a whole lot as it was a expanded media barrage thing anyway.

Yeah... you have a partner and I don't. It makes a difference I think Moosie was more referring to the circumstances of not leaving the house, covid or not. |

I made the decision after Covid to join a church home group so I wouldn't feel isolated but so far it hasn't turned out very well. I'm still the oddball character in the group.

My social life wasn't that expanded before Covid anyway. It's mostly my close family, 1 best friend and 2 friends we see almost every weekend. If anything I think my existing social contacts got more intensive because of it. More video calls and hey what's up texts etc.I wouldn't mind having more friends, but just thinking of the process of finding these new friends gets me overwhelmed and tired.

My best friend is planning on moving 7 hours away after Christmas to be closer to her kids.  I'm not looking forward to that |

That's sad, Kye. I made a friend when I started helping to lead a scout troop shortly after starting work as a programmer. Soon after that, I learnt he was emigrating to Australia and a great sadness came over me as I realized I would never see him again. It was as though he was about to die.

I go on holiday for a week without kids and partners with my friend every year. Somehow we always manage to pick up right where we left off the previous year. We do text each other when there are important things happening of course, but other than that we really only see each other once a year. It works for us.
I'd be sad to miss that week, but I guess it helps that we don't see each other regularly anyway so I don't miss her that much otherwise.
