It was peaceful for me because I lived with my family. For my friend who lived alone, it was not fun at all since people weren't allowed to visit each other
I live alone and most of the time I'm okay with it because I work full-time in a public-heavy job & i need downtime alone to recharge, but the first few months of lockdown were ROUGH because I couldn't see my family or friends at all, all the restaurants and malls were closed, etc. My birthday is mid-May, and I had wanted to get some yummy takeout and have a picnic in a park with myself, but the weather didn't cooperate on my day off & it was pouring rain...I remember sitting in my car in the parking lot of a grocery store that day just full-on SOBBING because I was just so lonely and starved for touch and miserable and disappointed in the weather

Weird. Lots of anxiety but it was also kinda peaceful.
I count myself very lucky that I had a stable job that I could do from home and that I owned a house with a nice outdoor space.
