Yeah, I think at university as well, with COVID and sort of the after effects of everything coming online, there's definitely been a negative effect on students and on people in general, because now instead of kind of when you're organising a meeting with someone or something with your tutor or with a lecturer or a fellow student, it's like the first kind of thing is, should we just have teams meeting?

Yeah, that's true.

And actually, it's much nicer to just go out.

It takes more effort.

That's the thing.

Going out for a coffee has now become something you have to put effort into.

It wasn't before COVID.

It was just something you would do.

You'd go for a coffee, you'd go for a meeting.

And now it's the easiest thing to do is stay in your room or stay in your kitchen and log onto your computer.

And that's effortless completely.

You can wear your pyjamas.

But it's kind of scary now that we have to find motivation to go out of the door now.

Which is, it's not a bad thing.

It can be amazing for, you know, people that have to care for someone or someone that isn't well or, you know, there's, but it also definitely does kind of erode the human connection that we used to find quite easily.

And confidence, yeah, definitely.

Little things become huge tasks for people.

Yeah, like the amount of people that find kind of, like, you know, I get it sometimes, like,

just feeling anxious about going somewhere because you know I was a covid no I wasn't a covid baby but I was I had a kind of nine months where I did school online completely from the kind of safety of my room and then you know if we ever had a day where I don't know it was a snow day you do it in your it didn't seem to affect your twin brother at all

I wouldn't say I'm necessarily affected.
