Lockdown was the first time I'd ever drunk heavily in my life. Still have some weird hangups from being treated like a criminal for wanting to do normal human things.

They're not weird.

More unusual all the time, though.

I moved to a state where lockdown never happened, and people here just don't understand how bad it actually was. What am I gonna do, talk to a therapist?

I saw "weird" and just wanted to double-down on your idea that you're just a normal human =]

I am not a normal human. I have a disturbing combination of high aggression, low empathy, high intelligence, and high agreeableness. I don't make sense to me.

I'm not talking about social anxiety hangups, either. I'm talking about hyper-specific weird interactions that I just can't do now.
