"New ABnormal" occasionally.
Call me a COVID-denier, call me a Neanderthal, I never bought into much less accepted this stinking sack of s***.
Mostly true for me as well, yes
What does it take to convince you? The MSM screamed it night after night over and over. Everytime you turn on the news the fearporn oozed out as they told of the NEW cases. How many had it. How many had died from it (supposedly). But if someone dies of the vaccine - whoa! Hold the bus. Don’t jump to no conclusions. We need to make sure it was vaccine related (it wasn’t that way with Covid deaths - I wonder why). So if you’re still cornfused , just listen to Dr. Falsely. He’d never steer you wrong.
I find I now live in a sh*thole.
You are neither a denier nor are you a Neanderthal (at least only Joe Biden thinks you are). The fact of the matter is that a lot of people will have serious psychological trauma over this — PTSD / attachment injuries / chronic fear. People will return to normal, but given the 24/7 coverage which roughly translates to 24/7 worry that you are going to die (at least to those who delve into the media) it is easy to see. This will pass. And I agree there is no new normal.
Bet she’s making bank with the neurotics. 🙄
How did I know she’d be a psychotherapist based in NYC?
Probably because I grew up with her (or at any rate, her clones, who were legion and are probably all now psychotherapists) and I know that they were always self-centered, fearful and controlling.
I don’t care if they want to be crazy. Just leave the rest of us out of your craziness.
Ditto here. I've been social distancing since I retired in 2003. The only thing I gave up was meeting my friends at the local casino once a month, and that's only because they require you to wear a mask. Screw that.
It is truly sad how many people were their own jailkeepers.
Spoke last night with someone about 5 years older than me (I’m in the seventh decade) who basically did not see their own children and grandchildren for a year, except outdoor while wearing masks. Went to the grocery store every three weeks, only early in the morning in masks and gloves.
Pandemic paranoia put the OCD-inclined on megasteroids.
Oh, goody, an actual named diagnosis that people can glom onto instead of their masks. Some people love and need to have a diagnosis to tell other people about.
"We lived for over a year with such fear and such uncertainty.
No, mostly frustrated and irritated at all the idiocy on parade.
I know what you mean. The idea of quarantining the healthy is insane.
Yeah, mentally and emotionally weak people, who never learned to be self-sufficient, accept responsibility for anything, and relied on others their whole lives. Sucks to be them.
That's nothing. Ask them about their diets or vitamin supplements. You'll get plenty of "sharing".
I was never afraid of the virus. Even after I got it.
You and me both, I have not even put a mask on once. I’ve had a few guys want to fight. Today I had some lady try to get on my case rudely. I simply told her she lacks the intelligence to hold a coherent conversation, and anything I say as simple as it may be, will be so far over head an 8 year degree wouldn’t cover it. She ran off lol.
This whole thing has stunk to high heaven from the onset.
Perhaps the most disappointment I’ve had though is with the people on this site who I thought were conservative patriots. There are so many balless window lickers here, it’s depressing. Some even call themselves doctors. Either extremely ignorant or complicit. Either way, no friend of mine.
It’s going to get worse yet though.
Well, that may be a judgment, but it does not change the fact. While I am glad you are strong, we must have some degree of compassion for others who may be struggling.
The batflu exposed the lack of common sense and faith in God in this nation.
Spot on.
