Not everyone is introverted, not saying being one is a bad thing, but not everyone is and enjoy being around other people.

When I need/want a people fix, a crowd of strangers doesn't do much for me. It's not like you can strike up an absorbing or entertaining conversation with the stranger sitting next to you at a movie theater. If you try, the people sitting around you are likely to think you're a little on the pervy side.

I don’t know, I find watching baseball at home boring, but I love going in person to cheer my team on and the excitement being with other fans, some movies I’m fine with waiting till it’s on dvd or direct, but some movies are awesome in the theater like action pictures. Everyone is different and there is no wrong or better way.

I hate parties though.

These people live in that world though. You can too if you’ll just watch the propaganda outlets every night and use social media.

Now it seems nothing is convincing him to go foward. Multiple vaccines, declining numbers of Covid patients, we are rotting up here. Please LORD, help WA state.
My wife and I went to the movies just before Christmas for the first time in years and only because of Mel Gibson. We spent nearly every weekend at the beach last summer. We have dinner and drinks at least two nights a month. I enjoy Wing Wednesdays at the local pub every.... well, Wednesday. Gyms have been open here for months, but I just started back this week in an effort to lose my "COVID" weight. Full capacity, no masks, and even an open water fountain.

I keep hearing about lockdowns.... haven't experienced one yet.
