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...

    There was even an Art Battle, to raise money for the NHS, and I successfully bid for one of the cheapest drawings. £61 charcoal sketch, of a Victorian Nurse, at an auction where proper Mural Art reached nearly a Grand. (Even then, I thought to myself, "Those lot could afford to go priovate!")

    I still keep the Artwork, as a symbol of how our good nature was taken advantage of.
