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...

  • I actually liked going to the supermarket, as it was quite because they only let a small number of people in, and everyone was keeping there distance which meant other people didn’t get in my way lol. 
    I also really enjoyed the first BigMac I had when McDonald’s reopened Laughing

  • I did too - I generally don't go to the supermarket (like other shops)  other than quickly a 8pm. But wife was an at risk category, so I went a queued with a trolley round the car-park.  I think wife is glad I'm not doing it now - as I took some detours from the shopping list
