Yes.
It wasn't 2020 that started it either. I've hated video games for a long time now.

I just miss going out to lunch.

Yeah, I realize now how much I took that shit for granted. I miss the bar. I miss my friends. I miss the movies and concerts and not wearing a mask and everything not closing early and going to restaurants and the mall and all that shit.

Before pandemic
  • Went out on walks
  • Went out to pubs
  • Went to the cinema
  • Saw family members
  • Played video games
  • Applied for work


Currently
  • Go out on walks
  • Go out to pubs
  • See some family members
  • Play video games
  • Apply for work


The only thing that's changed in my life at this point is not been able to see my Niece and Nephews. That's mostly my sisters choice when it comes to having folk around her place and letting the kids out. She's waiting until things settle down more. I only haven't bother with going to the cinema but that was something I didn't do much anyway as I just watch things at home.

That or nothing much has changed.

I hella miss it tbh.

I miss going out for food, buffets (Especially all you can eat crab, I have not had crab in almost a year now cry).
I miss DnD games and board games in real life (vs through zoom).
I miss being able to shop whenever you want, or just go out for a day, being able to just walk around places and check things out, being able to go on trips, cruises and visit relatives/friends.

I miss being able to work, volunteer, and make a difference in other peoples lives.

I miss being able to see a doctor or a dentist without worry.

I miss having the option to see a movie, go to an event, or the possibility of going river rafting etc (with a group).

I miss a ton of things actually, but mostly I just miss the freedom, the ability to do whatever you want without worry, to go places without having to wear a mask that makes it hard to breathe, and have so much more potential when each day started then we do now.

Perhaps you need a better mask.

I ordered 2 online, now it looks like they won't even get here before I freaking move (literally ordered them 3 weeks ago).

Everything is slower for delivery right now, it says they have been in CA at one place for like 5 days awaiting being picked up.

They are sports masks though with these filter things, supposedly waaay easier to breathe through, which is why I ordered em online. Didn't think it would take this long to get them, but I only go out once a week if that....so it wasn't a huge deal. Then last weekend I found out I'll be moving, and now it looks like I'll literally be doing that in the next couple days.

Hopefully those will help your breathing with masks on better. I don't like them but only have them on in shops and on public transport so it's not a big deal. I have one with a filter that helps make the masks feel less stuffy.

Yeah they are both sports masks (so with filters) I edited my above response to include that. It's why I had to order them online, but I didn't know it would take so long when I did.

It should help, but I honestly have a problem breathing if a wall is like 2 inches away from my face, and I can't sleep with a blanket/etc in front of my face either (I make a hole if using a sleeping bag etc).

Still prob won't be wonderful, but hopefully it's better.

nah, I hate this.

gym's still closed.
Martial Arts school (in which I'm an instructor) still closed.
I hate having to wear a mask whenever I go out.

I'm a high school teacher by day, so teaching from home was fine, I guess. Not ideal to say the least.

About the only thing I miss is taking my kids to the public parks and occasional restaurant. Almost everything else is better.

Less crowds in the store, less people driving around, we have a decent yard/playground/etc for the kids to do stuff and we still get carryout and bring it home for those restaurants we love.

Also hugging people, I miss that.

I guess none of my friends want to do anything so there's that

Thankfully I'm just as well off. Seeing the whole extroverted world feel my pain is more of a reward. Soon you will all be just like me. Eventually they will all come to GameFAQs and argue about religion and politics too.

Much like screaming, all hugging must be done quietly inside our hearts.

I had a heart once. Then I lost it. Perhaps I left it down the Sofa.

It's where the socks go, but don't worry, there are worse things than being heartless, at least you are not a nobody.
