All I know is I have always been a quiet person, some people just are, and that's totally OK.

I also think it is great that you have been doing stuff you love. That is so important. We spend so long working that we can often forget or just don't make the time for self care in the form of an interesting activity.
The thing is Deyon I never used to be that way. I was always looking for an excuse to go out anywhere, catch up with friends or go socialize. The mrs was the one who was wanting me to not do so much. But the past 2 yrs or so I have just hidden and I am finding it a lot easier to stay at home than to go out. It could be my age though, Im not sure. Covid has made the decision to stay at home easier too. Im not governed by the restrictions as much as I work from home and I find Im not spending anywhere near as much money as I once was.

I also dont have the patience for people as I used to either. I much rather not bother with them and deal with the BS.

It's given me time to try and work myself out too.
