I feel you, man. The isolation during lockdowns really messed with a lot of us. Being cut off from regular human interaction for so long leaves this emptiness that’s hard to shake. I think a lot of us underestimate how much those little social moments—like chatting with someone casually—keep us grounded. It’s not just about romantic or physical connections; it’s about feeling seen and heard.
I’ve been there myself. A few months ago, I was in a similar situation, and I stumbled across someone in a random online group who was open to phone chats. I was nervous at first, thinking, "What if it’s awkward?" But honestly, it was refreshing. We talked about random stuff—music, life before lockdown, even silly things like childhood memories. It felt like a piece of normalcy had returned, even if just for a little while.
There’s something uniquely comforting about a phone call. Texting and social media can be so superficial sometimes, but hearing someone’s voice—their laugh, their tone—brings an entirely different kind of connection. It reminds you that you’re not as alone as you feel. If you’re looking for someone to chat with, maybe try apps or forums specifically for connecting with people who feel the same way. You’d be surprised how many are out there looking for the same thing.
Just don’t lose hope. This phase of isolation won’t last forever. In the meantime, finding small ways to connect, even virtually, can make a world of difference. It’s not a cure-all, but it helps.
