I’m so used to it, as most of us are. I was in the grocery store last week and there was one person ahead of me in the check out line. He left and I started to walk up and out of the corner of my eye I see some guy walk up to me from behind. I got totally freaked out because he stood about a foot from me and I thought why is this guy getting right next to me, he’s way too close. It felt uncomfortable and odd. Then I realized that this guy was standing the pre-pandemic distance from me. I hadn’t had someone do that in three years in a grocery store, it felt really weird.

I kinda miss the quietness of lockdown Britain, it was peaceful in a way. Walking around the town was so nice; me and my younger brother would walk all around our area of the town and light up to smoke cigarettes.
Streets were mostly empty - was kinda nice

Was quite a surreal time. Going out and seeing zero cars even on the highway

My social discomfort, bordering on anxiety, started in 2020 during the pandemic, then worked its way up until I could no longer shake it off. I don’t know how to deal with people anymore, without getting all flustered and losing my cool.

I like to keep some distance to others
I would feel very uncomfortable if someone stood real close to me in a checkout line
