It became a noticable trend around the beginning of the 2000's where people overwhelmed with bad news, frightening increases in terrorism and senseless murders began to seek shelter in their homes. Coccooning is a psychological term created to describe this latest manifestation with people who withdraw from everyday outside acitivities. The Covid 19 scam and population control exercise has only added gasoline to the fire now that the delivery of groceries and other products, a permanent resignation of over 4 million people from the work place to work from home, and an increasingly threatening world outside enough to make the most extroverted people reconsider at times. The song "Lonely Girls" by Mark Almond illustrates perfectly the sadness of those who live denied a partner either intentionally or unintentionally as they exist in quiet desperation isolated from an unfriendly world.
