I feel so lost

[user4938201]

I feel so lost in life at the moment.
I thought with lockdown lifting I would want to do things like going out for a drink or meals but I have no desire to do so. I find that I don't really want to be around people like I did pre covid.
I thought been back at work would make me feel more sociable but even chatting with my colleagues feels like a chore.
Surely it's not normal to feel like this?

I think lots of us feel like this. We have spent so long suppressing our needs, that unsurprising them feels exhausting.

I have felt like this too. It's entirely normal, we have just been existing for a year. It's a state called languishing. Will try and post a link

You’ll get used to it again OP, we’re all just out of practice that’s all. I joke to people I meet up with that I’ve ‘forgot how to people’ and most feel the same. Don’t be too harsh on yourself, just don’t force yourself to do too much at once.

So sorry you feel like that OP. I actually feel the same way, and have been feeling like it’s just me!
