So I don't know about you guys and gals, but I'm a social baw. Crawfish boils, pool parties, beers with the boys after work, weekend baseball marathons while drinking.

This is really bothering me. I actually really miss seeing my friends in social settings. It just isn't the same and it doesn't help that some are taking this garbage serious and not leaving their house for anything. I have friends I haven't seen in months. We talk daily on the phone but it sucks not actually hanging out.

Are you guys still hanging out with friends like normal? Getting creative with things to do? Going absolute bat-shite stir crazy like me? How are you dealing with this bull shite new normal?

More and more people are just saying "frick it."

I'm one of those people.

If you talk to the same guys daily on the phone it means you’re gay.

I see some folks every now and then, but I've mostly been getting my socialization from huge Discord chats with my baws. If I didn't have that, I'd end up buying hookers just to talk.

I'm an introvert, and one that generally hates people. I wasn't hanging out with friends to begin with.

Now the parks and state/federal land being closed....now that is some bullshite that's irked the hell out of me. I enjoy my ability to hike and avoid people.

I’m the same way but luckily the majority of my friends said frick it a long time ago. We get together and drink on Fridays. 5 of us are taking families to beach this weekend and staying in same condo building.

The ones still on lock down are due to their wives making them

The problem with society today is people constantly rushing around doing meaningless bullshite instead of being introspective and trying to see through the illusion of this bankrupt global society that we have collectively created. Outdated religious, political and social/financial structures created for the 19th century world are on the verge of collapse.

DNR has been patrolling down here. And I don't have the hookup here for land to chill out on like I do in north alabama.

I am not social but not a hermit either
Since this started I have been visiting my parents once a week
I have been trying to stay outside so we picked up crawfish a few times

Sunday was the 1st time I went to my friends & I played with their kids on an inflatable slide all day
They have been trying to stay close to home & avoid their parents but have relaxed their social distancing

I am so bored, I think this has changed me to where I’ll start going & doing more things

Living alone, the first 3 weeks of this were terrible. There was so much uncertainty about the CFR and no-one wanted to catch it or bring it back to older parents/ grandparents. Now a lot of people aren’t worrying so much about dying, so the last three weekends have been 100% social (though different than pre-rona)

Weekdays are still pretty rough though

I'm an introvert but I have a couple of good, life long friends. None of us live close to each other though.

I don't particularly enjoy working in my house all day everyday. I'm getting pretty stir crazy.

My mom is recovering from cancer so she banned me from visiting. Even though she lives down the road I can't go.

Ive hung out with the same group of buddies basically since this started, drinking 3-4 times of week. Thought was if you stay basically isolated we will be okay. Have come into contact with others besides the group but no problems.

Since things opened up this past weekend I knocked out all the stops, Ivars, Chimes and Walkons. According to my NYC lib sister im a selfish a-hole, but F’it
