I feel like this is less of a generational thing and more of a current society thing. This comic strip basically just described my life post COVID and I'm 41 lol

plenty of introverts have always had this lifestyle, it's not new at all and especially not a new covid related lifestyle
There’s just more of us now, Covid caused a lot of trauma that has resulted in a lot of shut-ins. Remote work, instacart, Amazon prime, GrubHub, it’s easier than ever to never leave the comfort of your house. I’m betting there’s a subset of the population that hasn’t left their home in 3 years.
I used to get antsy if I didn’t get out, see people, but it doesn’t bother me anymore.
COVID really fucked me up. Going to the grocery store used to be a normal thing. Hell, going to the office was a normal thing. I did these normal things for decades!
Now I'll do about anything to avoid leaving the house and interacting with other humans. Outside is different deal!
We haven't begun to talk about it severe trauma that 2020 was for a lot of people. We turned the entire country into involuntary agoraphobiacs and told them they'd die if they didn't comply. Then we blasted fear and anger into them for years.
GenZ is just broken, they'll never be 'normal' again. Millenials have checked out, Gen A is basically feral. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K my friend.
I was gonna say, 52 here, is this not just normal life?!
(OK, I asked my gf to move in, so I don't jack it so much. OK, maybe before my 11AM standup meetings. Or after if I'm "edging".)
Amen
It's your life there's no wrong way to live it
more about not knowing what the hell else to do and being too depressed to try anything else but ya
If you're depressed I hear that therapy is pretty useful and maybe afterwards you'll enjoy your life more?
if you can afford it, i recommend people try it 👍 however, i am in poverty in the USA, so it's a no go. i can't even see the dentist till the middle of next year
I'm not in poverty and I still feel that. Only thing that's always worked for me is physical work. Get out and take a walk, at the very least. But that's kinda hard when you're too depressed to even do that much.
Had a week off this spring, thought I was getting my kids. Ex fucked me over, despite a court order. Instead of going back to work, I worked my ass off outside on my house. I haven't been that happy since.
Therapy definitely sounds like a good way to learn new ways to enjoy life :D
Ventablack humor gets me through the day.
Unless you cause harm to others by the way you live
If you include dropping a gummy, that's a awesome Saturday night.
Forgot the vidya
sounds nice invite me over
Very relatable.
