So many of us are glad that we've opened up the economy and now we can see some of our old friends. But why are so many of us feeling alone even though we still have access to so many good people virtually (digitally) with a click of a button? We have more entertainment and news at our fingertips too.   

Oddly, I don't remember solitude being such a struggle growing up in the 1980s and '90s. I think I would have done faired better with some quiet time in that era as opposed to now. Stillness and quiet time didn't seem to be so bothersome to me as it is now. Right now, however, when I have more opportunities to have quiet time or stillness, it's harder to feel a sense of contentment. Other's also feel this. Have I changed? Have people changed? What's really happening?  Why do people find it so hard to be alone?   

Why are we so happy to be free from our homes?   

How comfortable would you be if we continued with social isolation? 

There are a few things that are affecting our mood in these moments of social isolation. I'll share two key reasons why we are struggling and what we can learn from introverts.
