How the pandemic made me an introvert

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm today

For most of her life, therapist and mental health expert Dr Jessi Gold loved to be around people. Her social calendar was always full. She says she always needed to do something, with someone. But a funny thing happened in the years since enforced social isolation during the pandemic. Dr Gold says she's now content being home and alone. She says she's gone from being an extrovert to an introvert and she's seeing the same trend among friends, patients and talking to other mental health experts. Dr Jessi Gold shares insights as a reformed social butterfly learning to find balance.
