How do extroverts cope with shelter-in-place due to Covid-19?

One thing that really helped the extroverts on our team was a regular team-wide happy hour. We pulled 35-40 minutes on the calendar at the end of a day, everyone grabs a drink, and then we open the video chat and let people talk about anything and everything NOT related to work. By the end of it, everyone's a lot more relaxed, the tension seems a lot lower, and the extroverts are in much better shape. The introverts on the team are encouraged to attend; when I'm feeling more introvertish I'll leave my video feed off and hack a little bit while listening with my mic muted. :)

That's a good question. I'm introvert and realized how non-event it is for my working style.

Covid-19? Shelter-in-place? Cool. I been doing that before covid for last 4 yrs.

Sorry, not answering your Q :)

I think they all call me to do 1 hour monologues.

Don't know if I would call myself an extrovert, but we've enjoyed playing Jackbox Games (https://jackboxgames.com/) with audio or video chat. The nice thing is you already play it over your phone, so it's really just a regular video chat with one person also sharing their screen. It's also more social than a lot of games.

It's definitely not the same, but it's not bad...especially given the times. My friends and I have been trying to do everything we normally do, just online instead. We have happy hours, play jackbox or games on tabletop simulator on zoom/discord (some games like codenames you can just screenshare and everyone doesn't need to own tabletop sim). We also like electronic music and used to go to shows/festivals together...and a lot of DJs have been doing live streams now, so we'll watch them together over Zoom and all dance on a video call.

I FaceTime my friends/family every night. We'll prop up our phones on our desks and eat dinner "together" or just mindlessly surf the web and share links to songs and videos. Sometimes we won't even talk at all if there's nothing to talk about, but it's still comforting having each other's presence on the phone. We'll chat if a topic of conversation comes up but it's nice not feeling pressured to talk as we carry on with our mundane tasks around the apartment.

I’m scheduling video calls (FaceTime, Zoom, Jitsi) with everyone I know (family, friends, colleagues) on a cadence to make sure they’re doing okay, give them a venue to vent or unload, etc.

I post a lot of instagram stories and hope for friends to react haha. And also have been reacting to tens of stories of my friends. Also joining lives. Difficult times!

Pretty simple. Make sure I am calling people everyday either on the phone or video calls. Talking to the neighbours at a distance always helps.

If my friends are anything to go by, poorly.
