How are you coping with being alone and inside all the time? What is your mentality about it?

I’m an extrovert so all this inside alone time is a struggle. I have moments where I feel like I’m going to snap! I need helpful advise to be at ease about it.

I haven't adjusted very well. I was used to being out all the time, seeing all different people and places.

I've had to go back to my old stoic philosophy books, to find the wisdom to help me endure a very difficult time.

@SW-User yeh. I’ll have moments where I’m fine, but I miss people. I miss people around me being happy too. I’ve come up with a daily routine sorta and that helps but I still will get upset. Not having a job, not being able to travel, and not having friends around is upsetting. What is a good philosophy to keep in mind from one of your books?

@MissNoahLenFoxx Well it's hard to properly explain it in a short comment. The easiest way I can think is to give you a quote from Epictetus.

"There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will."

@SW-User ooo good point; it is beyond the power of our will... Thanks!
