Have you ever spent any length of time alone without seeing or being seen by anyone else either IRL or by video app? You ever spend any length of time away from mirrors, without seeing a reflection of yourself in a glass?

Have you ever as a thought experiment wondered if you might feel differently if the world was struck by a virus that suddenly left you and the whole human race without eyesight?

I prefer being physically isolated but connecting with people digitally, because then I don't have to worry about how I look. So yeah I prefer interactions where I have some control (like just voice or text), but it doesn't really make me like myself any more.
