Right now I have to quarantine for two weeks as I have had to do several times over the summer aswell because of a Covid scare at one of my parents jobs. I find that this tends to bring my morale very low and now it especially does because I'm in school.

Many people cannot go to school and see their friends and rarely get to hang out with them anymore. There is no doubt that COVID has caused all of us to feel isolated and lonely at some point because human connection and contact is vital to living a happy and healthy life. Because majority of people aren't getting that right now, it's caused a mental health crisis influenced by isolation and loneliness.

Like Eesha, I'm also not sure if we should write solely about negative impacts, but I think that the ability to share our gifts and talents with the world and being able to use them to help other people has significantly grown since COVID. Yes, our physical contact has been limited, but social media usage has gone through the roof - I think that people have been using social media platforms to support each other and help other people in any way possible because we're all in the middle of a pandemic and it has
"bonded" people in a way.

People particularly around the teenage ages are putting their need for companionship over their need for safety. They do not care if they or loved ones and others get sick as long as they can go out with their friends and/or partner and have fun.

In terms of esteem I believe during this pandemic a lot of peoples self esteems are lowering because all they are doing are going on social media and seeing all these "perfect" people and wondering why they cannot look like that or gaining weight because they are unable to exercise as much and they are eating all the time out of boredom and that's making them more insecure.

We have lost many people to this virus. Many of us have lost loved ones. We are also unable to see people because of how bad it is out there.

I see that people are putting their friends over their own safety. I don't think they realize how serious this virus is.

A lot of people had goals for 2020 that they wanted to achieve, but now we can't really achieve them. This pandemic has lowered a lot goals that people had in sports, traveling, jobs, and much more.

During this time of covid, we have had moments to be introspective and reflect on our relationships and bonds with family, friends, and others in our lives. We have been able to discover what energy we want to surround ourselves with, and if we truly feel accepted/loved within these relationships.

Covid has created a social environment where one may not be sure of their own safety when leaving the house for personal needs. By going to the grocery store or for those required to keep working, there is an inherent risk of succumbing to the virus or other germs being spread.

Covid 19 has clearly disrupted Belongingness and Love needs because intimate relationships and friendships alike are being interrupted. If one genuinely follows the rules and social distances as directed by the CDC, that personal contact and human connection is broken in half. Being alone and separated from other human beings is taking a toll on the mental health of many, so much to the point where people can't take it and simply break the rules.

Covid has brought about many downsides but people now have the time to work on themselves and live up to their fullest potential. Those who actually struggle with the busy hustle of daily life may actually be thriving in this environment of being home in ones own space. People actually have the opportunity realize their strengths and weaknesses and work on it more internally then having to worry about too many external forces interrupting that process.
