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.
This is clearly an unpopular opinion, but I can’t upvote it because of how horrific it was for a lot of people.
I’m on the spectrum and without that context this post might seem really terrible. I can’t stand it when I see other autistic people glorifying things that are utterly horrific just because it tickled their introverted tendencies. Just because you’re autistic doesn’t mean you’re introverted and just because you’re introverted doesn’t mean you don’t need social interaction. Lack of social interaction will completely destroy your mental health. The fact that you made a ton of money that year tells me everything. Many people were forced by the government to close down their businesses even if they weren’t at risk. Many other people ended up unemployed when their businesses shut down from lack of income.
This post reeks of privilege.
Celebrating unimaginable suffering that led to suicide is one of those things that makes me hate being identified with other autistic people.
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.
They’re nothing more than a shitty troll
Saying that Australians were in concentration camps?
Gimme a fucking break
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
Yes. Yes it was. Apparently it worked out well for you, which is good (for you). Many others weren’t that fortunate.
And for them I am sad. 🙏🏻 prayers and thoughts for the families
