NEW YORK - Introvert and soccer fan Phoebe Anderson stated that the pandemic has been so isolating and depressing that she longs for a chance to not go to a supporters group event to which she would be invited.
“I miss turning people down,” stated Anderson to The Nutmeg News. “I used to get excited about the possibility of the event and then plan my whole week around the anxiety of attending the event and my eventual cancellation. Now I just don’t know what to do.”
Anderson reportedly spent the last few years attending games and finding ways to stay at home for pre-funks, after parties, mid summer social events, watch parties, and banner/T.I.F.O painting parties.
“I really do miss turning down 2 or 3 Facebook invitations, or telling people maybe and then cancelling by text,” stated Anderson. “Now my phone is just filled with text chains of people talking and not doing anything at all. It’s a bit like being in a world of introverts, but we need extroverts just to show us how exhausting becoming emotionally involved in anxiety and the world can be.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Anderson creates a group event for herself and 10 other people on Facebook just so she can say that she will attend and then change her status to maybe at 11:30 pm the night before.
