I can only handle being around people for so long before I start longing for some downtime and my own space. Can't imagine what feeling lonely would be like.

Even the introverts need their particular level of interaction, even if it's way lower than those extrovert weirdoes.

I can definitely tell when I'm below my (low) requirement, anyway, after a few days of remote work.

Same, some public exposure once a week is needed for me. Social battery overcharged isn't healthy either.

Here's hoping! This shit sucks.
EDIT: For me. Everyone else, I hope nothing but the best finds you. :)

So... Ignoring and ostracizing say, toxic boomers, actually speeds up how fast they go away? This is great news. The teeniest bit of karma.

On the other hand, so does partner violence. Win some, lose some, right?

It's a dark joke that I would normally have deleted upon further reflection, but there's been talk that deleting comments (even lousy ones) is bad for Lemmy, so I'm hesitating to get rid of it. Really not sure what the move is here.
