NEW BUZZ WORD-SOCIAL FATIGUE

 One thing the Pandemic has taught us is that we love to over analyse our lives.

So watching a morning TV show there was a discussion about Social Fatigue after returning to social events after being so isolated for so long.

Rejoining social events and groups. 

Tiring and feeling out of place.

Well I am tired of zoom meetings. Except maybe in the middle of winter.

Many of the suggestions by the psychotherapist was typical advice of how to control your life.

Monitor.

Identify feelings.

Know it is hard getting back to normal functions. 

So to pace oneself and not rush to every event under the sun.

Good advice on any day.

We do have this idea that it is important to plan and be doing something all of the time.

Travel is one example. Often asked where are you going and where have you been.

I have done many staycations where I have been having a good time but often judged that it was not good enough since I did not travel anywhere!!

How how about you? Are you experiencing social fatigue? Is there really such a thing?
