I would go to the pub but I'm actually a bit of an introvert and in a way the last three months have been, how can I describe this... Similar to what my regular life is? In that I don't have a huge social network and find myself "distant" from many "social settings"

It's almost like, the lockdown and the conditions relating to the lockdown are familiar to me. Does that make sense?

It's just that it feels like for years, the way my social life is, or rather the lack of a social life, it mirrors the restrictions in place in Melbourne currently.

I guess you could say that I've found myself alienated from friends and family long before the coronavirus outbreak. Maybe it speaks to the loneliness of modern life, or maybe it's just soemthing going on in my own mind

And sometimes I feel sad that I don't connect with others, but other times I feel like that sadness only stems from society's expectations; like I'm supposed to be a social butterfly

So is it wrong to be an introvert? And be ok with that? Or is there something wrong with society and it's expectations on the individual to assimilate in the norm?

Regardless of who is at fault or if the idea of fault is even appropriate to discuss, the feeling of being in lockdown is eerily similar to the feeling I had pre-lockdown; staying home, spending a lot of time online, not having a large social group to interact with...

I guess you could say... I've been social distancing for years.

Just to be clear this thread is a joke directed at the meme of people saying they've been socially distancing for years and not only am I a massive extrovert but I got tones of friends and mentally I'm flying bro I'm on fucken cloud 9.

I'm probably going to delete this whole thread for the following reasons:

1: it's hard to know whether I've missed the boat on making meta jokes on saying I've been socially distancing for years. A lot of people have done it but I thought there might be a "third wave" of it being funny. I may be wrong

2: people are earnestly reaching out to me to say that they have also felt alienated and isolated and that makes me feel bad. It's tough times out there.

3: the amount of likes isn't shaping up the way I'd hoped and I'd hate to have this many tweets in a thread that flopped

4: I have a couple of other tweets doing ok and it might be best to delete this thread to let them breath a bit

5: Greg hunt once liked a porno tweet by BBW cum pumper 69 and then lied and said he was hacked and filed a phony police report with the AFP

6: the meta tweets referencing the original thread might not be enough to save it

7: now might not be the time to be making flippant jokes when people in Melbourne are trying to enjoy this one day of good news

8: I have a chicken meal to prepare and don't want the stress of this bad thread hanging over my head the whole time

Should I delete this thread
