Since lockdown started, my friendship groups have fragmented. There were terse exchanges over the decision to meet outside in groups of six when it was allowed, lots of judgementy messages, the expression of personal struggles ignored, even the home schooling Vs school taught children is causing drama. There seems to be a clear avoidance of considering anything from anyone else's perspective....that what they are experiencing is the only thing which matters.
I appreciate everyone has their own circumstances and I do still care about my friends, but I feel almost as if we're losing any empathy for each other and fragmenting away. It makes me sad that we are not actually helping each other through and turning on each other. I actually am not sure we will remain friends after this. Is this a by-product of stress? Will we go to the pub and all be ok at the end of this? Anyone experiencing similar?
