    Oh god the lingering germophobia as a result of the pandemic shining a massive spotlight on surface contamination and spread vectors has completely ruined me.

      Same, I went from drinking from friends glass to only do so if I felt “forced” as in it would be weird if I didn’t haha And I have a “dirty” hand that can touch things and a “clean” hand that will only touch my stuff that I know is “clean”. Corona really ruined me… But ppl still get corona so I don’t want to just stop doing this either. My parents were out for a week not long ago because of corona, I am pretty sure I will react the same way and I hate being sick it cost time, boredom and money…

        Public transport is the real killer for me. It seems bizarre to me now that there was a time I could stand on a bus or train and comfortably just hold the support handrail with a bare hand and not wash it afterwards or anything. These days I avoid them at all costs and still gotta carry disinfectant for mental health purposes.
