Pre pandemic:
Age: 25
Very outgoing type personality
Net worth $150,000
TC: $70,000
Bright future ahead

Now:
Age: 27
Reclusive, always at home
Net worth: $400,000
TC: $185,000
Very dystopian/negative view of the world

Lost 2 years of my 20s, these are supposed to be the most formative years of my life. I get it, at least I didn’t lose my life to COVID or my career but the world has changed so much at least from my view.

    Everything is open. Wear a mask(or dont) go out and live your life. I would rather die early happily than die late depressed and full of regrets.

  • I hate to break it to you- most people on planet earth lost two years from this pandemic. The only difference here is you made bank during it…

    Yeah, my people skills went down quite a bit. I perform great at work, but I suck at casual conversations/meeting people.

    I used to be a lot more confident but ever since COVID I’ve lost that confidence and it definitely affects my social skills

      Bruh, you'll recover just as fast or faster than you declined. You're young and have a bright future ahead of you. Learn from this experience about yourself and what affects you and adjust to live your best life. It's completely within your control.

      I would have hated this in my early-mid 20's... Lots of power to you younger lot. I'm in mid, soon late, 30's, married, 1 kid who has been below school age so pandemic honestly barely impacted my day to day, except now I WFH 100% instead of 60%

      I'm high risk, bud, so yes. Your take is highly privileged. Note: privileged does not equate to bad. It's just presenting you with the opportunity to realize that others don't have the same experience as you.

      Even if OP makes $185k, this is a privileged take. Privilege takes more forms than just compensation. You can have race privilege, able-bodied privilege, familial / social support privilege, location privilege etc.

    This pandemic shattered my world views. Most people are sheep. Money/Economy is broken beyond comprehension. We are living through a period of 4th turning, peak centralization and planned eugenics. Suicides all time high. Familes/culture broken beyond repair. Future will look back at this and find it a dark world war type timeline. Hope we learn and recover to reality and value the right things in life rather than devolve in 200+ years of dark ages, which is quite possible.

      Universal healthcare is unfair. People who eat junk food / do not take care of their health do not deserve my tax dollars to treat their diseases.

      Fuck limitations on guns. I ll take down at least 10 guys out of the Gestapo before they enter my private property and mandate a fucking experimental vaccine on me. Second amendment is not a fucking joke. If it wasn't for guns the oligarchs would have converted US into Australia and would have put people in gulags already.
