[quote=Anonymous]Reading this thread is comforting to me. Because it has been 3 years since the pandemic, but my general enthusiasm for life's "extras" are still low despite getting back into a great exercise routine (healthwise I'm probably better than where I was pre-COVID).

But I am less ambitious, I don't trust people as readily, the phrase about being an ambivert pre-COVID and now a full on introvert from a previous post really resonates with me.

I feel like the pandemic laid bare how selfish most people are. How hard it is for working parents when children are not prioritized at all.

On top of all this, we have aging parents that are now demanding a lot of our time even though we received very little help or support with our young children during COVID. A lot of it was to prevent spreading COVID to grandparents, which we also wanted to prevent. But it still feels like everything falls upon us. When they need help, we have to drop everything. When we needed help, no one could do it.[/quote]
