Coping with solitude and isolation

We are about 5 weeks into the stay at home / social distancing regime.
I am hoping you have experienced the joys of; bluer skies, more peaceful times with so much less traffic and fascinating birdsong. I certainly have.
Solitude can be enjoyable to, while silence (or relative silence) can be seen as a bonus.
One thing I have found challenging is the physical isolation from people I can share ideas with. This has revealed a weakness in me and has led me to question the sort of person I am. I have written about me being a liar, cheat and coward. This self-deprecation may seem extreme. It has taken a lot of time alone and some social blunders for me to better see my faults. It seems I am not so kind and generous as I had been believing I was prior to this self-isolating period.
Would you like to read, “Was I bipolar or have I been a Liar, Cheat and Coward”?
