Hello everyone,
The title might come off as taunting to the society-haters many of us are; this nonetheless became clearer during this period of unemployment and sanitary restrictions.
While not having seen most of my acquaintances for more than a year now, my communication skills have been deteriorating ever since, part of my self-esteem along with it, to the extent of sounding like a simpleton during my last online job interview and freezing up on mundane questions. All of this led to self-deprecating tendencies that'd left me doubting my intelligence and abilities.
I've been neglecting my social and communication skills to an extent where it became problematic (sounding redundant, being unable to convince...etc), and people are a way to maintain and hone those skills. One has to be deprived of something to appreciate its value. In normal times and as an employed person, I'd spend the weekend at home because I'd have exceeded my dose of forced exposure to people.
I owe part of my sanity to a special someone, if this person reads this thread — thank you for always believing in me, without your support and care my self-esteem would have plummeted during this period.
P.S. It is no secret that loneliness can result in depression and loss of confidence, but it feels good to share my late experience
