I am going out among people more and I cannot decide if it's stress from living in a pandemic (worrying about Covid) or just my natural introverted nature that is causing me so much distress. I went to my weekly gaming group, church, and my knitting group this weekend and I feel as if I want to cry. That's not normal for me.

I don't know what to do about it, either. Maybe a soak in the tub with some scented epsom salts. I wish I knew where the sadness was coming from so I could at least make the attempt at addressing the root cause.

None of those gatherings were bad, by the way. I enjoyed the game, I am not hating this church (that whole thing is probably a post all its own), and my knitting group was pleasant. But here I am, fighting tears.

@AngelaPreston I’m sorry to hear about the sadness. Hope it passes soon.

We don’t go out at all but then again, we never did, I mean even before we were married I think my wife and I were individual loners. Now we are loners together 😛

So I think I kind of understand, but for me personally, going out mostly evokes anger/annoyance (and sometimes rage) than sadness. I don’t know if I’d prefer sadness over that, but again, I do hope it passes soon for you …
