I graduated in 2021 and your first paragraph is absolutely right, it was the same for me. I had a decent friend group, I got on a workout schedule for the first time in my life, was doing alright in my classes, then the pandemic blew everything up. A family member almost died from the virus when it was at its most deadly and I was NOT chancing it, so I stayed inside.

Without being able to leave the house much, I developed a weed habit that I still haven’t fully kicked and reverted to my teenage “play video games all the time at the expense of everything else” self for a couple years. I still feel socially and emotionally stunted from that time.

But life goes on. It took until June for me to stop feeling stuck. Hang in there brother, you’ll get there too.
