I am wondering if I am alone in this...
I must firstly say, from a economical point of view (ie businesses and facilities being reopened) I would be in support of lockdown ending at the right time. In my mind, the health of the population is a priority and I'd hope to see an improvement in rates before lockdown is over.
However, from a social point of view, I'm not looking forward to it being over?! I can honestly say I'm not desperate to see friends and family. Those who I would miss I feel I have spoken to more than ever over FaceTime etc.... occasionally I have thought "I wouldn't mind meeting up with X for a coffee" but that's as far as it goes.
My DP and I have had a very challenging few years and as such have stepped away from being very sociable to "heal" however it's not always felt that other have necessarily understood this so when lockdown came it felt like a bit of a gift... we didn't have to explain or excuse ourselves for why we didn't want to go to events. We are both much happier spending time with our dog and going on long country walks.
I worry that there will be a surge of events being planned post lockdown and there will be even less understanding shown to those of us who can't/don't want to go along because it's going to be expected that everyone should want to do all the social things to make up for the last few months.
Am I alone in feeling this way?!
