As @Elizebeth says above - our tolerance for others whinging about minor stuff, when we are going thru major stuff ... is totally gone! It is like SHUT THE F**K UP! I also can't be bothered socialising much either - tho made myself attend a couple of outings over Xmas/New Year (and DID enjoy myself!)
I must remember "As good as can be expected", @kmakm - a good response.
Take care, Rose - try not to overthink it - no-one really knows how anyone is going to react in a crisis, until one happens. We know that WE just have to step up to the plate & get on with it tho! xxx
