WFH and Isolation

Question

CONFESSION: I am somewhere in between an extrovert and an introvert.... and personally.. I'm loving this social distancing and isolation! Sure, its not the most ideal situation.. but it's giving me time to work on myself and strengthen the goals that I've let slide since Jan 2020! I can't be on social media anymore as it feels too intrusive to my safe space *with FGB being the exception* - does anyone else feel the same??!! Most people I speak to are the complete opposite!

Morgan Grey · Answer

I feel the same, I work at a recruiting agency where everyone is on the phone all day. We also have an open floor plan which amplifies the sound. I have to keep my headphones in all day, and have a tough time hearing when I am on conference calls.

This time at home has allowed me a new way to focus. I don't miss the office banter and constantly being interrupted when someone comes by my desk to ask a question. So maybe I don't miss being in the office.

FYI: The term for someone who is between an introvert and an extrovert is an ambivert.

I feel exactly the same! Myself and my wife were both remote workers before all this happened, so not much has changed in our routine, but I enjoy being home and very rarely find myself missing the office interactions of previous jobs.

I work in marketing and social media so I can't get completely away from social, but I hardly use it personally at the moment. It's hard to go on Facebook and see 20+ posts about what's going on. Good or bad, it just becomes overwhelming.

I'm a definite introvert, and I'm loving being home; I would work  from home forever if I could.  I have colleagues who keeps asking if I miss them, and I keep saying 'well, I love the extra time with my family.'

This is so funny that I came across this because I just decided today that I will not get on social media, starting with today and seeing how it goes. I'm a blogger so I rely on SM for marketing purposes, but for personal ones I need a break. It's a bit overwhelming right now and it makes my anxiety shoot up!
