Have you ever been under self isolation before Covid ?

Discussion in 'Loneliness' started by quantumd, Apr 12, 2020.

  1. If yes , why ? choice or coerced ?
     
  2. My PMO-addiction days were in a way self-isolation xD

    I was so damn addicted i did nothing but stay at home, and jerk off to porn ...now i look outside and notice beautiful trees around me, the nice smell of spring and i get a feeling of instantly wanting to go out and enjoy the day outside, but i can't so its really annoying.
    Yesterday was 365 days of being PMO free btw

  3. yes i was in high school and my parents were poor so i had to go to school come back and stare at a wall before it was time to go to sleep and do it again. I swore once i was older I would no longer have to have this xp again lol but it happened again now :(
     
  4. Th situation we are under is a very precarious one where social distancing and self isolation are driving everyone crazy. But as everyone around feeling the craziness of not being in touch with their loved ones and me being under isolation for more than a decade , there is a part of me that wants to tell some folks " Now you know how it feels". but atleast they have someone to talk to. But self-pity aside, one little frustration is that all the online grocery store items I used to order are closed as well.

    aislamiento no , pero sucede que justo unos dias que estaba rompiendo una racha sin ver pornografia o masturbacion , comenzo la cuarentena en mi pais peru , me he tenido que enfrentar a otras circunstancias tambien en estos dias de cuarentena , como no salir con una chica o lidiar con otros problemas , pero a Dios gracias lo logro.
     
  6. There's a difference between staying isolated (while world is buzzing) and present situation. It's way worse now than the self imposed exile.
     
  7. Last time it was 2 years ago and i was a loser ahah.
    I'm self-sabotaging during lockdown.
    And I realize after two years of hard work, it doesn't change who I am. I think I've found inner peace and that I finally found self love. And what a relief!

    To be honest, I can barely tell the difference between now and before covid isolation. Just a few inconveniences really.

    Now that I’m thinking more about this, I keep hearing the people on the news telling us that we’ll get through this and that we’re all in this together. And I can’t help thinking, “is it really that bad living this way?” I guess I’ve gotten so used to it.

    I had two weeks basically stuck in a flat by myself a few years ago when I broke my arm. Basically watched a lot of films and ordered a lot of takeaways. No fear like today, and a steady job to go back to once I was cured. But still a bit pathetic.

    I learned to use my other hand during that time ... pathetic!

  12. I can relate to this.

    Born to immature toxic parents, I left them at a young age and have been alone most of my life. This Covid thing brings nothing new except it gives me the rare privilege of working from home which I didn't have before.

  13. The current situation can clearly show the visible difference between the real introverts are and those that are too humble to acknowledge themselves as an extrovert or even a ambivert for that matter. As I recall some of colleagues claiming they are introverts and now this situation has put them under extreme duress (they have families and kids to deal with ).

  14. You almost had it but yes.
     
  15. I concur. As I mentioned, there are inconveniences as well in the current situation. No one would prefer the current situation but people who have experienced self-isolation/social distancing can weather the storm better than the ones itching to go out.

  16. Yes, my whole life. I've never really had a friend. Can't say exactly why I'm like this.

  18. I experienced something similar last summer. I was in a psych unit but then I needed a surgery. It got infected by a antibiotic resistent bacteria which also happened to be pretty damn dangerous. The first 2 months I was in a hospital bed. My psychologist had to wear an ebola suit to come see me. After that I could barely walk and got isolated without human contact for maybe 2 more months. When it all was over I was quite pissed at the system for putting me away for that long.. Corona feels pretty similar. Everything shuts down. I am not sure if the benefits of the shutdown outweight the cost. I think the aftermaths of this is going to be ugly.

  20. Its always the same..When you are in trouble ,you will know who truly your friends are ..and in your case it was zero and mine is no different.

    And in the current scenario, since everyone is in trouble, it will show the true face of our society. The benefits of shutdown is your life and not doing so, the cost will be your life and others as well. The lock-down can slow the spread so the countries can ease the lockdown slowly, but the more people are roaming around ,more lives will be lost and easing the lockdown will be delayed.

    Going back to normal is not possible without a vaccine but thats not possible till 2021 .
