Anyone else anxious about getting back to normal?

Kit McDaydream

It's been announced shielding will end at end of July. Already I'm feeling anxious about the expectations I know will be coming to 'get back to normal', mainly people wanting to be able to visit. 

I can't even look at my phone incase they've seen the news in papers and texted me already talking about meeting up. I've felt more myself during lockdown with absolutely no social pressure than I've felt for years. As I've had no need to mask or use alters to deal with any face to face interactions with anyone.

Is anyone else getting this?

  • I'm anxious the other way - I'm sick of being restricted and I'm worried about how crazy the NTs are going to be when they're let loose.    

    The world seems to have lost all rationality and ability to gauge true risk.      They will happily get in a car (probably one of the riskiest things to do) but people are now terrified of being near each other so all social contact will be awkward and strange.    I have no idea how people will date or have the courage to touch / hug / shake hands with each other.     An evening in a restaurant or pub will be very weird.

    I can't work out why shops are open with people touching everything yet museums are closed where you can't touch things.     It all seems so arbitrary and ill-thought out.    The whole lack of truth and logic is frying my brain.
