To be reluctant?

I live in a country where lockdown has been eased a little and we can now see friends from other houses in groups of less than 10.

Prior to that I was locked down on my own for 8 weeks.

I've now got friends messaging me daily to see if I'm free to go to theirs for a cuppa or if they can pop by to say hello on their way to wherever... and I've realised I actually don't want to see anyone.

Normally I'm really happy to see people, to have them drop in, to catch up a few times per week.

But now... I don't feel like I want to.

I don't want to talk about lockdown and the virus, I'm not sure I have the energy to cope with some of my more extraverted friends (who are genuinely lovely, just like extra-bouncy talkative puppies when they haven't seen people in a while), and I've actually felt very peaceful and relaxed over the past couple of weeks.

Am I being unreasonable, unfriendly and unrealistic to feel like I don't want to come out of this bubble yet?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable, I’m the UK so haven’t been in this situation yet myself but i imagine it’s quite overwhelming going from seeing nobody else and being told to avoid people as much as you can to having friends round. I think you’re absolutely fine to go at your own pace, I would only be concerned if perhaps that feeling didn’t fade over time and you ending up shutting yourself out.

Oh bless you, I totally get this.
It will take me a while to adjust too.
