This is a problem that afflicts us today because we spend too much time locked up, this begins to make social relationships difficult and this can have a negative impact that both virtual or social distance learning can have on the development of skills both social and adult. Some research indicates that prisoners, soldiers, astronauts, hermits have lost their social skills, however this does not mean that they are lost but that at the time of carrying them out, these people feel anxious, uncomfortable, intolerant socially speaking, even people more introverts always yearn to be accompanied. This can have some consequences because the brain interprets being in company as a biological signal such as thirst or hunger, and by not having this interaction we can start to have cognitive, emotional, physiological, and psychological problems. This is why I have come to the conclusion that we have to talk more with our loved ones to keep our social skills as agile as possible during this little social time and so when normality arrives again, we are prepared for this emotional shock.
