I really miss private conversations..

Just feeling totally claustrophobic at the moment. 4 of us in the house, can't have a private conversation as it feels like there's always someone around. It's not like I have much to say to anyone but it's completely doing my head in not to be able to have a private chat on the phone or with a friend.

I used to have a very sociable job which has stopped now and I just really miss small talk - catching up on other people's lives etc.

The feeling will pass but OMG today is doing my head in... Sad

There must be a room you can shut yourself into to make a phone call, surely?
Or can you go for a walk on your own and make a phone call while you are out?

Can't go for a walk as that would be 'exercise', which govt is saying only once a day and I need actual exercise (I'm trying v hard to stick to the rules). We do have rooms but just the walls feel very thin if that makes sense? I don't know, like I say there's nothing I actually want to talk about but I think the fact that I can't is getting me down today...

Can't you add the phone call on to the end of your walk before you get back indoors?

Every walk is accompanied by a small person who needs company as much as I do. I guess there's nothing actually wrong (and I definitely know loads of people have it worse than me) I just miss my life before atm. Can't imagine how people who live in tiny flats etc. are coping Sad
