I don’t know why people always make 2020 sound so horrible. It was great!! I was traveling all year. Everything was cheap; gas cars, rentals, tourist traps, everything.
Traffic was clear and low, restaurants weren’t crowded. I also made a ton of money that year.
It was amazing and I think people speak too negatively of it. It was the best year in the last five years for everything I just named and it was a good start of the decade.
Also I AM BEING SUPER SERIOUS. Only a few people I had this conversation with in person understands the epicness of 2020, the rest make it seem so drab and I don’t know why they had such a negative outlook on it.
Probably more fair to say it was the best year for you.
I imagine quite a few people had a great 2020 but it’s important to acknowledge that many many many others did not due to isolation, sickness, fear, losing their job and so on. It was a horrifically serious year for the rest of the world.
Was it though? USA likes to push that narrative and I know they had Australians in concentration camps but that was more of the corrupt governments torturing their citizens not the cov
I’m Australian, and It’s up for argument about how necessary isolation was, but it definitely had a positive impact on transmission of the disease and covid deaths. I know for me, while I was not at high risk from covid, it helped people that I knew were immunocompromised. But the isolation had me in the worst depressive state I ever was in, combined with losing my job, 2020/2021 were some of the most terrifying and horrific parts of my life. I know a few people who died of covid too, so it wasn’t this casual sickness.
I’m glad you had a good time during it, I just think it’s an unpopular opinion describing it as some of the best years, because that’s dismissive of a huge amount of people who suffered hard.
Hmm fair enough about the deaths. But everything else about it made you stronger.
Nah not for me. It was nothing but a terrible time making me relive experiences I never should have experienced. If anything it made me weaker because I’m left with trauma now and am even more fearful of loneliness.
Fearful? Of what
Isolation and loneliness. Used to be fine with it now it fucks me up even for short periods of time.
You shouldn’t be scared to be alone. Work on that
Your whole account is weird. Can’t decide weather its trolling, no respect for others, an AI/LLM, someone just going “fuck it all”, someone mentally ill, or just a regular person with some unconventional view on the world
I wasn’t until I was forced to be isolated for years. Point was simply that it was a traumatic and overall negative experience for me and many people like me.
