To miss the first lockdown?

I know it was a tough time for many but I genuinely loved that first lockdown. I think about it all the time. There was something strangely blissful about slowing down, having fewer obligations and just focusing on connecting with people - even though we couldn’t physically see them. And when you did see someone, the gratitude was immense. AIBU to feel nostalgic for that time?

I LOVED lock down. I'd go back to it in a heartbeat minus the illness, heartbreak and death of course.

Absolutely not, no thanks.

It ruined lives and businesses so no I don’t miss it

Yes, quite ludicrously unreasonable 🙄

I worked as a nurse. I won't do it again. Never.
You are being nostalgic.

YABU, it was unmitigated awfulness.
