Total opposite here. Before lockdown, I felt overwhelmed by driving. Having to do it every day, sitting in deadlock traffic, the general stress of anticipating everyone else’s movements, timing lane changes in extreme congestion, etc.
After quarantine, I feel elated driving. I am rarely forced to, traffic is much lighter, I put on a podcast or audible book, and it has gone from stressful to relaxing.
- hangonhn 6y agoLikewise! It's a huge stress reliever for me. I get to get out of the house but still be isolated from everyone else.
- pixelbash 6y agoWe had a couple of months of that, and now not only is traffic back up to the same density as before, it also feels like a fair number are driving just a little bit worse. It could be my imagination though..
- sandworm101 6y agoDifferent definition of "driving". This is about the act of driving, the requirement of negotiation a vehicle on a road. This isn't about being overwhelmed about the extent of driving necessary in one's life, but overwhelmed by the mental tasks necessary to do things like merge onto a freeway. Little sympathy from me. I had to work through lockdown, driving to work nearly every day, including more than half of the weekends.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoYea, the lockdown was incredible. Never any traffic, I loved it.
