Dear lannawannabe:

You are welcome! Yes, these are very difficult times for most of  us (some people have been enjoying the lockdown, it being an opportunity to exit the rat race, to relax and do nothing much). You are welcome to post here anytime you need an online outing from your home.

The plan to me “more social outside of school.. meet different types of people” is a good plan, but being cautious while meeting different types of people is necessary. It does seem to me too that you “went too far the other way with this guy”, the other way from being guarded.

You wrote that this guy identifies as a feminist- there are all kinds of definitions to feminism, an evolution that feminism went through the years, or a devolution. There are women who define themselves as feminists in a similar way to how he defines it, which  is to use others or be used by others sexually.

I think that after the isolation, you  will be, like you hope, re-energized toward your life, and happier being you. You do have all that it takes to make a  good life for yourself!
