The last week or so has been mental weather wise and it's led to some real amusement for me. Loads of people are complaining loudly about having cabin fever after being stuck in the house for a measly few days. As someone who has been housebound for over 18 months now it's hard to find sympathy with that sort of ridiculous over-reaction but me being me I managed to do it anyway.
Of course they are being quite utterly ridiculous but the facts are that this is a real shock to their system whereas it's just the norm for me. They can afford to get all huffy and hysterical about things like this because, and deep down they all know this, it's only temporary. If I were to get upset about being stuck indoors I would have gone genuinely bonkers ages ago. I can't afford to let things like that bother me in the slightest because I know that, in the short term at least, they're not going to change. Getting annoyed at things you can't do anything about is a colossal waste of energy.
Having said all that I've never found it particularly difficult anyway as I've always been perfectly comfortable in my own company. At times in my life I've wondered if I am perhaps too much so but I think I've got the balance about right now.
