We're only halfway through 2020, but the Zoom fatigue is real.

Quarantining, social distancing, and working from home if possible are crucial actions needed to help slow the spread of COVID-19. But physically isolating yourself from your co-workers, friends, and family members means a whole lot of video chatting.

Zoom meetings, parties, dates, and other virtual catch ups are really starting to take a toll on people. Aside from the sheer boredom that comes from sitting in front of a screen and listening to people talk for hours, video chats can also be awkward as hell.
