Jim Carrey once said, “Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how calm and peaceful it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.” As an introvert, how do you feel about this quote?

I dont necessarily consider myself to be an introvert but I can relate. I lost my job do to the pandemic around late July. Since then I have been on unemployment and enjoyed the break from life for a short period of time.

As time has passed I think I've been drifting into unhealthy self isolation territory. I find myself not really doing much of anything...not returning friends calls..not returning calls from my family. Really just avoiding everyone. Not really being productive at all with my time. It kind of crept up on me and became apparent during some self reflecting one day.

I wonder if anyone else is struggling with this. I definitely need to make an effort to snap out of it because it seems like a slippery slope and I keep sliding downwards.
