I've been conditioned to enjoy less people around me. In 'locked down' CA, I enjoyed the little-used freeways, it was very easy to find parking in near the doctor's office, I sped thru TSA and went on flights with many open seats all around me, I swam in a clean community pool freshly opened with new water and it was all to myself and my family for weeks since everyone was afraid to get into it (except for that one other person that saw me and then copied me and starting using it). The only irritation was supermarket toilet paper shortages and stores that limited how many people could go inside so I had to go first thing in the morning to avoid inconvenience.
Guilty pleasures: Neighbors standing a good distance away from me if they wanted to talk to me. Not having to go to company mandatory social events. Distant family, staying distant.
