World seems different to me now

I used to be an outgoing lively 9th grader and then the lock down hit. In the second wave in India I was diagnosed with Covid. All this just made me super inward, and now everyday it feels like I am trying to get by. I have become an introvert, my parents dislike that about me, since they say earlier I used to be more happy. I just found that I had a lot of shallow friendships and acquaintances, and hardly 2/3 I could rely on in times of emergency. So, I stopped going out. I don't like to meet people. I don't like to talk to people. I prefer books and libraries to clubs and bars which is again by my college folks a weird habbit. Anyone else feel such difference?
