Being stuck in the house for almost a month can teach you a lot about yourself, and some folks are a bit surprised at what they have learned. Buzzfeed asked their readers to share some of those things they’ve learned about themselves during the coronavirus lockdown, and some of the revelations are really interesting.
Things people learned about themselves during lockdown include:
- "I always said I would be terrible at working from home but it turns out I have a pretty good work ethic, even when I’m not being observed. I might even try to negotiate a work from home day once a week when this is all over."
- "I have learned that I literally like burgers so much I could eat them every day. I had three burgers last week, but I could have had more."
- "I learned that I'm a person who prefers eating six smaller meals a day. Now my mum knows to leave the lights on for my usual midnight snack."
- "I learned that I enjoy doing house chores way more than I thought. Before all this, my house would always be a mess...I was lazy but I am loving it right now. I deep cleaned my whole house!"
- "I've learned that I can take risks and relish in the results. I shaved my head this past weekend after talking about it for twelve years. And you know what? I love it and I should've done it sooner."
- "I thought I would struggle with not going outside for days. I actually really haven’t missed it – I’m definitely an indoors person."
- “I have learned that no one cares about shoes or handbags when it comes down to it. What will matter in the end, is not what you wore or where you went, it’s the people you were with."
- "I have always thought of myself as an introvert who is happy in my own company so I thought I would find this lockdown easy! Turns out I miss seeing and talking to people face-to-face and whilst I do like my own company, I miss the smiles of others!"
- "I need my alone time! If not, I end up being grumpy and on edge!"
- I’ve learned that I love women’s WWE! Why the hell did I not get into this before?"
- "I’ve learned that I actually enjoy cooking. Normally I would order takeout almost everyday of the week, but because I’m not currently working I’ve been a lot better at grocery shopping and preparing my meals to save money. I’m having so much fun finding recipes and using all of the gadgets in my kitchen!"
