Introverts of the world unite! Our time has come!

With everything that’s going on at the moment, connecting with people, keeping up communication with friends, family and loved ones has never been more important.

I will be honest, I am quite introverted. I am more than happy with my own company and I find social events (you know, the type we used to have, seeing people face to face in restaurants, pubs, bars or at their houses) tiring.

But you can always have too much of a good thing, and online socialising was the way forward. It’s not something I have ever tried, but, in these unprecedented times (how common a phrase is that now?), new adventures and experiences await!

It’s an odd feeling, sitting in your lounge chatting to other people in theirs, as you ‘share’ glasses of wine, beer or cups of tea. Once you’ve made it past any technological hurdles and connectivity, I found you can quickly see beyond the screens.

We are getting used to a new normal, but doing so with a glass of something nice from our own sofas, chatting with friends who are doing the same isn’t a bad way of doing that!
