Re: Ask A Pro Live: Life after Social Isolation
Personally one benefit I've had is that I've been able to become more sincere in some of my interactions with others. I had huge fights with my parents which cleared the air even though they were awful at the time. I've also realised how much I really appreciate my partner due to missing him! My brother had to learn to cook meals at home because he couldn't take his new gf out for dinner

Re: Ask A Pro Live: Life after Social Isolation
@GuestPsychologist @Lost_Space_Explorer5 for sure, even introverts need social connection. A good analogy I remember hearing is that introverts don't necessary dislike people, they just 'recharge' and are most energized away from others, while extroverts 'recharge' and are most energized with others.

Re: Ask A Pro Live: Life after Social Isolation
@Lost_Space_Explorer5 She has made new online friends and some old friends do keep in touch, but they have to come to her because it's hard for her to travel. But if she wasn't sick, I don't think she would have e-met some people with similar interests, so that's a plus. We have also been able to do a lot of indoors things together that she can still do and her artwork and creativity has really flourished because she has a lot more time to work on it due to being indoors all day.
I've also done a lot of things in isolation that I wouldn't normally know about or do, such as finding lots of museums, artwork, live cams and things like that online. I'm pretty introverted, so it is easy for me to stay indoors but I missed exploring places just for fun and similar things.
