I understand part of this so very well. So often, I get, "But why can't you come? You won't catch COVID, that's all over now..."

If I had a pound for every time a friend has tried to get me to attend a party, a workshop, a lunch....well, I could afford some of those fancy N95 masks.

I already have a post-viral thing that I've had since 1997, and dodgy lungs, and a dodgy heart. Why do I want more of them? Just because they're bored of my not attending things, on medical advice, doesn't mean that COVID is over 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Sorry, that was incoherent. What I mean is, my friends get frustrated with me not being available to them now, and act as though I'm being unreasonable, when actually I would love to go back to my former social life. I just *can't,*, and it drives me crazy xxx

I completely understand! It’s so demoralising to have say no, sorry time after time to offers and suggestions. It’s a very slow educational trip that is exhausting to keep reiterating! No wonder we end up isolated.
