How the Pandemic has Changed me

 How the Pandemic has Changed me

    The pandemic has affected all of us as humans. Whether it's distance learning or remote working, we have had to sacrifice something to stay safe in these times. A lot of people had trouble with online school, me included. Not only the decrease in being able to see your friends or be in a bigger social setting like school brought peoples moods down.  The pandemic affected many peoples coping mechanisms for dealing with their problems, their friends were distant. It affected a lot of people mentally and everyone differently.

The pandemic has personally changed the way that I interact with people and social situations. I believe it's made me a lot more rushed and prompt than I used to be. This could be just because I'm used to the fast pace of online learning and such. I do believe that this time spent in "quarantine" or whatever you'd want to call it has negatively impacted my social skills. Hopefully with time, and no additional stay-at-home situations, I'll be able to interact in social scenarios better.

Overall I think almost everyone can say that the pandemic has negatively impacted them. Whether it be physical, maybe not exercising as much, or mental strain from being isolated. I believe that although this pandemic situation has negatively affected us as humans, we can still bounce back in the end even if it may take a while.
