People who haven’t really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others… I encounter lots of partial returners out there

      I’m more referring to people who aren’t so much choosing to isolate. Not a preference, but a loss of the capacity or opportunities to socialize

        That happens to almost anyone on a long enough timeline. You have to let yourself be uncomfortable while you rebuild those social skills.

          Absolutely. It comes down to exposure therapy, basically. Reacclimation.
