Probably some mental health damage from Covid lockdowns as well.

To the downvotes - I’m not saying lockdowns were a bad thing, but they did take a toll on many mentally. I’m personally still struggling to recover to my pre-Covid levels of mental health. It was very tough personally on me, and I took the lockdowns very seriously.

Lockdown was the first time I'd ever drunk heavily in my life. Still have some weird hangups from being treated like a criminal for wanting to do normal human things.

They're not weird.

More unusual all the time, though.

I moved to a state where lockdown never happened, and people here just don't understand how bad it actually was. What am I gonna do, talk to a therapist?

[DANmode]

I saw "weird" and just wanted to double-down on your idea that you're just a normal human =]

[rpmisms]

I am not a normal human. I have a disturbing combination of high aggression, low empathy, high intelligence, and high agreeableness. I don't make sense to me.

I'm not talking about social anxiety hangups, either. I'm talking about hyper-specific weird interactions that I just can't do now.
