There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation - eviltoast

People who haven’t really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others… I encounter lots of partial returners out there

    It’s not benign. Long covid can be and often is permanent. You get that shit, and everything you care about in your life is now a distant second place.

    What you’re calling “benign” is everybody consciously choosing to ignore it, and act like anyone smart enough not to is somehow weird and wrong.
