Your mind is fatigued by Zoom

Many faces looking at you is actually an illusion; no one is looking at you. You're not getting feedbacks from eye contact as you would in a real face-to-face. Your mind is starved of that nourishment while it is depleted of energy in searching of that feedback subliminally. Over time, the effect is accumulated.

Do you prefer talking to someone in person than over the phone? If you do, you may be more susceptible to that effect.

 

Use yourself more as the reference point in your thinking instead of an external one: if it is ok with me, that's good enough, approval from others is not needed.

It's a job, and treat it as such. Don't let it define who you are. It's just a means to support the life you want to live.
