Anyone happy about easing of lockdown?

Lotus

I walked into my town centre yesterday and lots more shops were open and more people out and about. I liked it. I am not sure why this is, as I don't like people much in general and hate crowds. I think it may be that at the start of lockdown, the deserted streets with signs warning people to stay indoors felt like a dystopian world which was rather un-nerving for me, but now it's more normal it feels safer. 

Anyone else experience this?

  • No I preferred it when there was an official reason no one could visit me. Shielding is meant to be ending soon and even today they are saying shielded people could go out and meet more, putting pressure on me to have 'no excuse' not to meet demands to meet up.

    Unfortunately I seem to be demand avoidant either due to PDA or having AvPD on top of Autism and requests to be visited followed by 'why not govt says all people can now' makes me want to do the complete opposite!

    I seem to have lost all interest in socialising since I hit the menopause, find people way too over friendly even online.. you chat to someone a couple of times and they're sending you a x on the end of texts, so you're then expected to do the same back!

    I'm sitting here looking for news of a second wave and hoping all these pubgoers and protesters will trigger one earlier so they have to at least reinstate lockdown for the shielded groups!
