    I wonder if I’ll ever lose this newfound and somewhat startling nostalgia for not-too-long-ago times.

    Ambling around a shop, trying on clothes (or shoes, or glasses), attending shows, casual visits and get-togethers, all of these things I simply took for granted. Even a tight elevator! And I’m somewhat claustrophobic...

    I tend to not prefer the company of most people, but ironically, I miss being around them. Human energy, uncovered smiles.

    There’s this sense of solitude. Not loneliness, but separation.

    Agreed. I live alone and have worked at home for many years. I don’t mind the solitude. But I used to make up for that by socializing with friends- going shopping, dinner, concerts, parties, etc. I do miss that. I will tell you I have not felt lonely during this whole time until last night - Thanksgiving. My first Thanksgiving without being at my parent’s. It did feel really lonely. But you are right. It is the human energy that has been missing.

    If I happen to watch a movie or show about prior times that involves scenes of people crammed in together to clubs, restaurants, stores or really anywhere then I find myself reflexively both marvelling at the freedom and feeling anxious on their behalf. And this only eight months in. I have no idea what it will feel like if things ever go back to “normal”.

    Yeah, I’ve been doing the same - though not so much the anxiety part. It’s more of a pining thing for me: “I wanna go back!”

    GG, I’m sorry - sometimes the kitties can do only so much! Distance (or distancing) can be so tough...missing that comfort.

    LOL, never tired that one, although I have been known to add a shot of Baileys to my morning coffee, especially on holidays!
