Summer may be here, but not everyone is apparently embracing a return to normalcy. Seven in 10 Americans are “anxious” over the thought of returning to their pre-pandemic lives.
That’s according to a new study of 2,000 U.S. residents, which examined what impact the COVID-19 pandemic might have on the long-term mental health of respondents. Large crowds (61%), maskless faces (46%), and people sneezing or coughing (43%) all rank high on the list of potential post-pandemic anxiety triggers.
Nearly two-thirds of respondents even say they’ll continue wearing masks after the pandemic due to anxiety about germs.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Hims & Hers, the study revealed that more than half of respondents (54%) would like to speak to a mental health professional before returning to their pre-pandemic life.
More than three-quarters haven’t wanted to be forthcoming with loved ones because they don’t want to be an “emotional burden,” as many are suffering this year. As a result, people have adjusted their language to lighten how they’re really feeling, using phrases like “I’m fine” (53%) and “hanging in there” (36%).
Meanwhile, 74 percent of people appreciate that others confide in them, but add it’s a lot to handle emotionally during this uniquely stressful time. Half of the respondents are considering therapy for the first time in their life due to the pandemic....

Half of Americans are pathetic losers.
The cynical part of me wonders if people are just trying to build a file for a nice disability claim or to try to remain working from home.

Hilarious.
Someone once said there are two ways to fail a psych exam, either you know too little or you know too much.

or to try to remain working from home. Winner winner, Delivered Dinner!
And then there are those still getting their "enhanced" unemployment who absolutely never want to work again, in home or out.

So my shrink said to me, “You’ve got a split personality. That’ll be $100.”
I said, “Here’s $50. Get the rest from the other guy!”
