what kind of social interaction did you get today?

zapatoes · Apr 11, 2020 at 10:26 PM

Texted and face timed my niece.

I called my grandma and we talked for about 20 minutes.

I went out to get the papers and mail, my sister and BiL drove up! I went in the got mum and we talked though the window. They came to drop off food and masks. That she had made.

I have to say proudly that I made a video call with my sister, my nephew and my niece.
The longest I ever made if I have something to compare with lol!
A big achievement taking into account that my anxiety reaches 10 out of 10 when I only have to speak on the phone. Yeeeeepe!

None to speak off. Over the years I have been cut off from the world at large which is part of my problem but I am content enough with being on my own. Not mixing at all with people at the moment and feel ok with that. I know the common mindset is, its good to talk and socialise, but not everyone fits that mold.

Just a couple of friendly hellos on my walk. That's okay.

With a person? I talk to my cat a lot. Does that count?

You have described the state of nirvana for people like us, with social anxiety.

That’s more than ok! Small talk is literally a NightMAre.

I spoke to a volunteer friend whose family member is recovering slowly from covid, that was nice. Spoke to my sister to organise shopping arrangements for my parents. Chatted online with a friend which was nice.

Nammu · Apr 17, 2020 at 12:46 PM

My sister and BiL drove over to deliver books and food. We put her containers and our used books in the garage then came back in the house and they took their stuff and dropped off more food and used books for us. Then we talked though the Windows. Yay, new books and more of my sisters superior home cooked food. Weird way to socialize! But it was nice to see them.

She says "meow". But that usually means "feed me NOW!"

Discombobulated · Apr 18, 2020 at 03:19 PM

I spoke with my neighbour over through the fence and later made a call to a friend.

Discombobulated · Apr 20, 2020 at 05:37 PM

Spoke to my dad on the phone a couple of times which was great, went to the shop and made sure to thank the assistant, messaged with a couple of friends.

zapatoes · Apr 21, 2020 at 12:25 AM

Texting mom and vet clinic, and talking on the phone for work.

AzulOscuro · Apr 21, 2020 at 04:59 PM

Received a greeting from a lovely lady who didn’t look at me bad for taking two dogs with me.
It made my day.

divine1966 · Apr 21, 2020 at 05:17 PM

Zoom work meeting with bunch of people
An hour on the phone with a coworker after the meeting
Short talk with another coworker
Lady at a curbside pick up
My dad on the phone
A parent of one of my students over the phone
And my husband face to face as he is off today finally!!!

zapatoes · Apr 21, 2020 at 08:16 PM

Texting mom and talking on the phone for work, called my veterinarian’s office. But does talking on the phone for work and calling veterinarian’s office really count as being social. Hmmm...
