I think many of us expected 2020 to be super-productive year. If there's nothing left to do than just stay shut at your home, what circumstances could be better to dive deep into some cool projects? Then it turned out, that isolation is not an actual ally for productivity. We wanted to live up to expectations set higher than usual so it's just natural to feel disappointed more than usual.
Socializing is important for our well-being and we're just not capable of getting rid of human interactions and replacing them completely with technical work. They don't have to be real-life, direct interactions. There are web communities, chats, video calls. No matter what kind of socialization type you'll choose, try not to be too hard on yourself with your ambitions.
Stay safe and mentally healthy in 2021 :)
