      @HelloProject 25 years for me. Getting a little tired of so-called friends going on about how their lives aren't worth living now that they can't go out three nights a week. This is any day ending in -y for me. But hey, message noted.

      I mentioned earlier today to people that when my unemployment began on Feb 1st and I happily settled into a routine of only leaving my apartment once a week, if that... people thought I was insane. That it was weird. Why/how would anyone do that. etc.

      I've always been hermit-y.

        I've been in the house for over a year, only left the house properly maybe five times, aside from taking out the trash and stuff. Like, this is mostly due to an anxiety breakdown (again), but like how can someone just be bored in the house? To me that just means they don't have hobbies.

          Some people are very much extroverts and need the social aspect. And for some of them, virtual communication doesn't help.

          I, on the other hand, am an extreme introvert and a single social engagement can make me shut down for days. Playing games with people fulfills a lot for me.

            I love other people and everything, but I'm not gonna lie other people can be really fucking boring. When I have people as interesting as Warframe, VRChat, Doom 2016, and 15 Sonic the Hedgehog games, I'm all for being social.

                            Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching just sent out a newsletter stating that she's evaluating her shop for what supplies she can afford to send out for very cheap to help those who are stuck at home (either due to financial hardship, the illness, etc.) to help alleviate boredom.

                              The books literally destroyed a tiny part of me.

                              I'll never be able to see Narnia the same way again.

                                Have a go at cataloguing some microscope slides and contribute to the museum's database.

                                  The show is less terrible and nihilistic than the books. I couldn't stomach them, but the show I could manage.

                                    Morbid fascination kept me reading.

                                    But I would seriously not read again.

                                      So some people have mentioned working from home, skewing sleep schedules, etc etc. If you are getting a lot of screentime on devices please consider installing f.lux https://justgetflux.com/ which helps reduce blue light exposure thus preserving internal clocks.
