I’m on the other side of that because my friends don’t put in the time investment into the relationship. So I’m currently without any direct “close” friends.
It could be said that I’m doing three same thing by not investing time - and you’d be right. I found myself always scheduling get togethers and such, but when I stopped reaching out (it was exhausting) I didn’t hear a peep.
Kinda done with people overall. I do have a good family framework, so I’m not totally in the dark-but I do miss closet relationships outside of that.
Do a little at a time. For example, clean off one countertop. Don’t even look at the others - just do the one in front of you. Before long it’ll be done, and you might have the energy to take on just one more.
A company I worked for went full on into a corporate workspace refresh to open concept during COVID. Writing was on the wall and they tried to recall people 3 months into COVID-which failed spectacularly. I found a remote job shortly after and while I do go in from time to time on my own account, I don’t really miss traffic or open office plans.
