I'm an introvert and I did win lockdown. So that article is wrong. In science, if you make a statement like that, all you need is a single example to disprove it. It's like saying there's no such thing as a black swan.
Sure there was a bit of unhappiness with the virus situation, but once I figured out that I didn't have to constantly watch the news for scraps of info, and got on with my day, and once I figured out that every day looked the same, and I needed to change it up a bit, it was nothing but happiness.
Recently one of my coworkers got lonely and decided to tell everyone else to come work from the office one day and we could go drinking afterwards. Nope. As much as I like my coworkers, but I've zero desire to commute to the office.
Another thing that I've noticed is that now that there's no external interaction with those same coworkers, I have zero desire for alcohol, and I've never felt better.
