As a (currently, sort of) introvert, I agree with both you and the parent. I also had a great time during the pandemic. But I was behaving exactly as I was before, when I was depressed. The difference is that now everyone else – even celebrities and Instagram party girls – were suddenly living my lifestyle, and that gave me a sense of comfort. It meant that I no longer felt like I was letting the world pass me by, because the world stopped.

But now it’s back on again, frankly, that feeling is coming back. It was nice while it lasted, but that’s clearly not sustainable for anyone.

I'm "old" by the standards on here, in fact retirement isn't too far away if I want it, and I'm genuinely intrigued by how my personality is going to change once I'm no longer working. I see the last 15 months or so as a trial run, and it's been great.

I'm dreading going to back to the office if I'm honest.
