How does the meme know me so well?

I wish I decided.

The capitalists let COVID go rampant and now I’m been bedridden by a COVID triggered disability for a couple years.

May I ask what you have?

It’s a common form of Long COVID [It’s often a misconception that Long COVID is one illness but it’s an umbrella term for chronic illnesses that can be triggered by a COVID infection.]

Sorry you're having to deal with this. Sounds like a rough ride 😔

I was weird beforehand! Now excuse me while I let my cat lick my armpit, she gets very upset if she’s not allowed to.

It's so easy to fall into a routine of self-isolation as a method of protection after being hurt or losing something but i assure you it's indistinguishable from self-harm.

Hey, earlier today I was just reviewing this relevant wikipedia page:

I love being alone. I don't know if anyone can add on any information about it what this is I feel:

I don't mind hanging out with people but I will not do it on my free time.

Coworkers want to get food together? Fine, and I talk and socialize just fine.

People want to do something (anything) during the weekend? 0 interest. It's practically impossible for me to think "wow, I'd like that" and another thing is I don't like meeting new people and these events are almost always 5 of my friends and 13 people I do. kt care about in the least.

I'm at home playing music, listening to music, practicing hobbies or watching shows I wanna watch. Playing games.

I don't mind some social activities like skiing or whatever, but the whole set up and time lost preparing and etc is just enough to make me completely uninterested.

DAE read that in Bane's voice?

I just don't want to bother anyone.

My family and friends ditched me after the divorce, barring a handful. I live in a state run by conservative Christians and am very clearly gay.

I’m isolated and weird by societal factors, not my own.
