COVID-19 Rules - Love them or Hate them?

Craig

I very much see the world in black and white (right and wrong), so I love it when there is a clearly defined set of rules to live by. I'm also indifferent about people, so there has been no real downside to the social distancing rules for me personally. That said, I hate rule breakers and I cannot help but say something when people are not socially distancing from me. This has led to a number of confrontations over the past year, that could've have been avoided, if I could only manage to keep my mouth shut! Overall though, I would say that the COVID-19 rules have been good for me personally, as they align with my general outlook on life. What about you lovely people?

  • I have wondered about this because, I have enjoyed having rules to adhere to at the supermarket...I hate going shopping but have enjoyed the extra space and the fact that, there aren't usually any rules but now there are...it kind of gives you a bit of control in anxiety provoking situations. (For some people it gives them a sense of control over covid but for me its a sense of control when in situations i dont really like). Similarly with the limited socialising too it has helped take the pressure off.  I know lots of people AS and non-AS who are anxious about restrictions easing because life for many, has been much easier recently.

    I'm not bothered if other people break the rules. They have their own life and their own story. Its like driving...keep ypurself safe because you cant do anything about others. However I have broken them myself one way or another at some point.
