Thought this thread may be of use of a bump given the lockdowns in the 2nd half of the year in VIC.
For Victoria, did you change more during the initial lockdown or the restrictions during the "2nd wave".
Also, now that we have some restrictions relaxed what changes have you noticed in this "COVID normal" environment?
Thanks for bumping this!
Also keen to hear your thoughts too Sine!-I've gotten so used to people not being physically close, it felt weirdly confronting when someone sat directly opposite me on the train.
-I thought I moved further towards being a non-hugger person, because I felt pretty content with social distancing, but then I hugged a friend last week for the first time in ages and I was surprised that I really enjoyed it.
-Oversized hoodies=normal+comfy, normal sized hoodies=what is this and why is it not covering my butt.
-talking to myself so muchhh. Before lockdown I never would have talked out loud to myself in public, but I was at the shops the other day and words unintentionally came out of my mouth.
-Unexpectedly I'm a lot more social (but that could be uni, not lockdown).
-attention span got pretty short I reckon, but getting better again now that we are going out of lockdown. Same with phone-addiction, it is now improving as I spend time at work/ away from wifi .
-try and scrunch my eyes so people can tell I'm smiling behind mask sometimes
edit: -also I've become a lot more aware of identifying my emotions/moods
-also possible I felt like lockdown 1.0 was me thinking extra about myself (in terms of like emotions/thoughts/goals), but lockdown 2.0 I'm not really doing that as much and my attention is more outwardly focused on others/events/planning
