In my country, Australia, there were six long lockdowns. Not being able to socialise regularly over that chunk of a few years could have affected people.

I am Gen Y and in my early-mid 30s now. I was actually homeschooled my entire life. I felt that being homeschooled really affected my ability to socialise. I was learning basic social skills into my mid 20s, which was fairly embarrassing for me.

    Thanks for sharing! I’m old enough to be your mom, so excuse my ignorance.

    How much of your social skill issues are cos of communicating with friends via text form rather than verbally? And how much interacting does your generation do online rather than irl?
