The thread title fits my situation perfectly! It was the very reason I joined this site last year. Before my Democrat state government overreacted to a silly flu virus, locked everything down, and banned social gatherings, I had a vibrant, active social life. And it all went to hell in just one day, when the quarantine order went into effect. Very quickly, I fell into a depression, and became suicidal. I found this site, and joined it.
I was grateful to learn the CTB methods, and even started buying some of the supplies. Until one day, when I was looking online to have one last blast of fun before CTB'ing, I came upon a radical right-wing group. I started talking to them, and got an invitation to their party in an illegally reopened bar 2 hours from me. Well, I had so much fun there, and when I found out they were planning more gatherings, I figured the Bus could wait. Especially considering that I became good friends with some of those people who lived near me, and I hang out with them even now, long after social gatherings became legal again. Just being in the same room with people who hate Democrats like I do feels very humanizing and life-affirming.
Today, I'm happy businesses are reopening, and I don't need to break the law to socialize with other people. But anything that happens once has a nearly guaranteed chance of happening again. So I'm not ruling out CTB'ing in the future, if my state implements the next quarantine over another overhyped virus. Since A is considered an essential business, I'll have no trouble buying all the supplies I need to CTB for good.
