At FC this year I saw about five different close friends who i really wanted to say hi to, give a hug to. i hadn't seen them in years. But even so, I felt like I shouldn't approach, or that it wasn't my place, or that it wouldn't be appreciated, or would they even remember me at this point? So I clammed and hid behind my mask instead, and I really regret it now. Not loving what the pandemic has done to what little social courage I had.
@jjwolverine The pandemic has certainly nerfed sociality. I would love to hug you again! ❤️
@jjwolverine yeah, it was a rough time getting back to anything resembling con socialization. Just holding it together was exhausting.
It's cool we'll get back there!
@werecupine @jjwolverine I had to make small talk with coworkers in person the other day. *Everybody* was bad at it.
@jjwolverine Can relate big-time. There will almost certainly be more opportunities though. *huuugs*
