What's something you secretly liked about quarantine?

2019/2020 feels so long ago now and yet despite it being such a strange time there are parts of it I miss, like staying in all the time and not being able to socialise and get close to other people.

Though it sounds bad, that part I miss the most. Socialising and being close to people is one of my biggest anxiety and autism triggers, often resulting in panic attacks and meltdown.

From that point quarantine felt like heaven for me.

It's weird because I am a people person, I would love a friend or somebody to love who also loves me but because of autism and severe anxiety I come across not as a people person. I hate fighting against my own mind, it's so illogical.

And yet, to most people I must come across as cold/rude/shy/ignorant maybe? I hope not, I hope people see me in a better way than this but I worry they don't.

Anyway back to the thread in question. As the title says...

  • It seemed quieter and less hectic, people kept their distance and seemed more respectful or were "nicer" some how.What I did enjoy was the battle to find staple foods like pasta, rice, tinned stuff. I worked all the way through and I did envy the nonessential folk that got to sit in the sunshine.

    I work in wholesale and the "toilet roll" panic buying was quite baffling, we'd sell 24 full pallets of the stuff in under 2 hours, day in and day out for weeks on end.
