I'd be interested in knowing the result. Where are you?

I’m in the US I have an appointment late today to go, I’ve been looking to get the test done and it was only available in a handful of spots in the country now it’s more available it seems. it’s a blood test that’s all I know right now I’ll post more when I get the test done and get results back.

I got my results back today and I tested negative for the anti-bodies so spin this how you like. I’ve never missed a day of work been around hundreds and hundreds of people and never caught it or I’m still vulnerable...

last couple posts off topic, gunna have to close the thread.

no but i think isolation is good for me but not for people who ruminate on their issues. i dont really have anything i need to work on aside from being more engaging prosocial and giving.

all of which i have no interest in doing most of the time.

but ill whip it out if i need to.

It used to be hard for that very reason, but it's preferable now.
I "should" be more engaging in real life, but it's more of an incapacity due to being easily drained (etc.) rather than a choice like it is for most others

The imposed quarantine was actually a life saver for me.
I think I would have had a nervous breakdown and failed my schooling without it

Is this linked to your reacting to comments and events that you take more personally than intended?

It might be - I honestly never thought of that.

u need a big strong daddy to hold your hand throughout your social engagements. i imagine justperson being your heroin.

im not necessarily drained by people unless im in a situation where i have to bite my tongue or give in to other peoples commands.

i prefer isolation. i can get what i need from people through the internet. it's easier that way because then i can completely ignore when they say things i don't like. plus i get time to filter myself and think through responses or etc.

are u awkward irl?

Ummm Saucy, stick to the facts.
I'm pretty sure we've already discussed that I have a Centuar for all those roles.

As for you not being drained, that was my guess.
I actually assumed you weren't particularly drained by socializing because you seem extroverted.

It was why I added how it's more of a lack of capability for me when I agreed with your mention of prosocial along with your mention of the potential for ruminating to be a problem.
