... that you have met a friend in person?
A family member?
A work colleague?
An acquaintance?

... and when have you last touched another human?

... and does it bother you?

FWIW, for me personally, it's "not since February" to the first four. "Last touched" was literally a client of mine the day before "no handshakes" stopped being a joke and reality hit hard.

And, yes, it bothers me! So much so that I'm sometimes wondering if I live in a computer simulation or some "Truman Show - NEW!!! Now with a global pandemic!" tag line. Or if I'm the last human alive and our hyper-intelligent lizard overlords get some sort of benefit from me believing there are still others.

(And, no, of course this is not what I genuinely believe - but being on your own for over 2 months results in a lot of time to ponder utterly pointless questions.)

...

So, out of sheer curiosity and/or boredom: what about you?

A family member? End of Feb my sister came for a quick visit after work, I was tired and quite keen for her to go.... I wish I could have that evening again.

A work colleague?
Last week, I'm in a school hub on a regular basis.

An acquaintance? I've stood at the end of a handful of people's driveways in the past few weeks but it's Early March since I went inside another house (9th for a birthday meal) *

... and when have you last touched another human?*
March 23rd.... head teacher hugged me on the way out of work. I was crying but at the same time thinking "oh no don't hug me!!"

Does it bother me?

Mostly no, I'm a natural loner and not very touchy feely, but I want my family desperately.
