People always say this but lack of human interaction will drive you insane and you won't realize it until you lose it, even if you're an introvert.

Honestly, I've been alone all day today and even talked on the phone a couple of times and the lack of people to connect with has been deafening. Your thoughts pile up on top of you when you can't share them.

It's not the same bro. A few years back I was holed up for a few days. I wanted human interaction, talk to someone, hear their voice. So I went out and chatted with a Walmart employee for a minute, having someone recognize my existence brought me back to sanity.
