Is it normal i like social distancing?

Is it normal I like social distancing? I am social phobic and have always had a greater need for personal space than average person. So this works out well for me. Never liked standing in lines or crowds and feel someone's smelly breath on the back of my neck or just smelling the stench of cigarette smoke coming from them. I will miss the personal extra personal space when all this is over. Anyone else feel the same?

    I have social anxiety and aspergers and I like aspects of social distancing. Even with my dislike of many people I have a desire for having people around me minding their own business, going to the mall sometimes, coffee shops and hanging out at the library. I cant do anything now. I also cant visit my friends and the pandemic itself causes me constant heightened anxiety.
    But some things are good such as its an easy way out of social situations and I dont have to feel bad about shutting myself indoors for long periods of time.

    No but I feel the same way. I have social anxiety & stopped taking my meds during the pandemic due to appointment cancellations. It might be the lack of meds that is causing me to appreciate social distancing. I don't have to worry about crowds & being nervous as much.

    People breathing on your neck? You must be in a big city. Ive never experienced that unless I was in jail. People always have space out here.

    I love social distancing and have been doing it my entire life. I have social phobia and agoraphobia and was diagnosed with Asperger's at 57. Social distancing rocks!
