Meeting a person in real life!

My gosh! The most joyous thing has happened to me. I got to meet a person who wasn't my mom or my boyfriend. I am overjoyed!

Hooray for human contact! Good for mental health! Also mmmm tea

[@maccadole]

Yes! My gosh, without friends or work it's been so strange. I do like my alone time as well but we are social beings, after all, and I do miss it.

@@maccadole the only alternative I found was sitting by the fire with some good tea and a book. But its getting warmer so no fire and also it isn't a totally perfect solutions. I relish the days I can visit my friends (who are in my circle). Couldn't do it for a while cause they recently got the virus but they are better and they took the test!

@@MythicMorningstar I'm so glad they got tested. It's the same thing here. My boyfriend still works but not directly with people, and everyone at the company get tested regularly. That means I do too because I live with him right now. It's the only way I felt safe meeting someone new. Otherwise what's the point of me isolating from friends and work if I'm going to meet strangers and potentially get covid anyway? Sitting by a fire with a book sounds absolutely lovely. It's winter and cold here so I'm hoping to do that some day here.

Yeah ... this whole pandemic situation, has certainly shown even us introverts and/or HSPs how important social interaction with other human beings are. I am so glad I have my 2 cats or I would have gone completely bonkers 😸.

I know what you mean, as proven with what I said in the video. I'm introverted as well and generally prefer cozy evenings at home with a pot of tea and a good movie. But as you say, this has really shown me what social creatures we humans are. I'm so glad you have your cats. Cats are the best!

@@maccadole He he yup cats are the best

In actual clothes! So relatable lol I can't find my tea in the moving boxes so I settled for canned sparkling water with tea so I could at least sip along. Glad you had a good visit!

[@maccadole]

Where and how are you moving? :D ... Or "how" ahaha that sounds dumb. Maybe why, rather? I hope it's going well. Dig up the tea soon!

[@peachgeek]

@@maccadole Moved to a different state for work. Colder here so will need warm mugs! ☕

[@maccadole]

@@peachgeek That's a perfect excuse to have more tea! I wish you all the best.
