I've been reflecting a lot this week. Social anxiety has been such a huge part of me recently that I forgot I didn't have it before 2020.
I've had depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember, but not social anxiety.
I think the pandemic had a lot to do with it (with people I love saying loud and proud that their social outings were more important than taking care of others).
And then with the whole convoy in Ottawa, from which I developed some PTSD, with friends telling me that it was worth it so they could have their freedom back (even when I said I was in a situation where ambulances couldn't get to us anymore.)
I lost so much faith in people.
And now I also wonder if our one COVID infection in 2021 (which was 100% our fault) also exacerbated my symptoms.
