I have noticed over the last few years that my hodge-podge of rural Midwestern accents have started getting more prominent in increased social isolation after COVID. And this is after kind of working to have a more "neutral" and professional accent for work and there being things that I say that nominally native English speakers (Brits, Californians, etc.) had a hard time understanding. Just wondering if other people here noticed similar things with themselves.
I had just moved across the country and was rebuilding an old friend group while building new friendships with comrades in 2019. Everything kinda fell apart and I haven’t been able to get back into building communism, only depression.
